WASHINGTON—Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador will meet with his U.S. counterpart, President Donald Trump, for the first time on Wednesday.

The meeting is ostensibly meant to celebrate a new North American trade deal, but friction over illegal immigration and energy investment in Mexico could surface as the two men get together on Wednesday afternoon.
