Obama to emphasize commerce in regional visit

Barack Obama heads to Mexico and Costa Rica on Thursday as he tries to focus discussions on the economic ties between the United States, Mexico and Central America.

On his fourth trip to Mexico since becoming president, Obama will engage in conversations with newly installed President Enrique Peña Nieto that are intended to extend beyond security concerns and focus heavily on the economic relationship between Mexico and the U.S.

"A lot of the focus is going to be on economics," Obama said during a news conference Tuesday.
