Mexico offers $385M to U.S. company to settle land dispute
- President López Obrador offered to buy Vulcan Materials' Caribbean coast property for $385 million to end the dispute.
- Vulcan operated gravel pits at the site before the previous Mexican government shut them down over environmental concerns.
- Vulcan values the land at $1.9 billion and has sued Mexico, but López Obrador wants the company to drop the lawsuits.
- If no deal is reached, Mexico may seize the land before López Obrador's term ends in 2024.
- The president plans to convert the property into a cruise ship dock and ecotourism attraction.
