The two U.S. officials were in Mexico on a two-day trip meant to repair relations with Mexico at a time when many Mexicans view the Trump administration as hostile to them. “Mexico needs the United States,” Osorio Chong said in a statement to the media. Videgaray also expressed “worry” for the rights of Mexican nationals in the United States as the Trump administration embarks on an a wide-ranging crackdown on immigrants in the United States illegally. There was no official response from the Mexican Foreign Ministry on Videgaray’s reported remarks.
