United States faces clash with mediation plenipotentiaries at Niagara Falls on June 10 over two core issues in Mexico peace talks. Americans demand a provisional president with constitutionalist backing and oppose Huerta's foreign minister choosing the successor, while mediators argue the form of succession is technical and view broad recognition as unlikely to derail negotiation. The talks proceed as both sides weigh names and the timing of transition, with hopes to avert a collapse of the mediation effort.
