STORY: During his speech, Joe Biden thanked Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador for his "partnership" and "help on immigration", highlighting the economic security that both countries share.
The historical backdrop of Cinco de Mayo traces back to May 5, 1862, when Mexican forces achieved a decisive victory over invading French army in the Battle of Puebla. Over time, this event has transcended its military origins to symbolize Mexican unity and patriotism. It's a day that resonates deeply with the shared history and cultural bonds between Mexico and the United States.
It's worth noting that Mexico's official Independence Day falls on September 16th, commemorating the start of Mexico's fight for independence from Spain in 1810.
