"The issue of the wall was not discussed, it was not part of the conversation," Videgaray told reporters after the meeting, adding that the US and Mexico share a "complex relationship with many, many issues." The foreign minister said the leaders' conversation centered around the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement between US, Mexico, and Canada. Trump on Friday reaffirmed his plans to build a Mexican border wall, saying he "absolutely" still wants Mexico to pay for the wall despite Peña Nieto's repeated refusals to fund the project.
