Mexico has come to an agreement with farmers and truckers who blocked highways and some points of entry into the United States across the country this week.
The Mariposa truck entry point into Arizona was blocked for much of the day for three days.
Protesters had a variety of demands for the Mexican government, including better economic conditions for farmers and roads that are safer from cartel violence.
The Mexican government and protest leaders now say they have come to an agreement. It includes the creation of three negotiating tables to further discuss protesters' demands. One to discuss security on the country’s roads, another related to agricultural issues and a third to discuss changes to the national law that governs water concessions.
