Mexico: Dialogue with Trump Officials without Impositions, Videgaray

Mexico -The Mexican government will not accept provisions that one government unilaterally wants to impose on the other, said Secretary of Foreign Affairs Luis Videgaray before meeting here today with top US officials.

‘We are not going to accept it because we do not have to do it, it’s not in Mexico’s interest,’ he said in a meeting with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and National Security Secretary John Kelly who arrived here yesterday.

Videgaray reacted to recent immigration provisions of the United States government, a key issue to deal with the representatives of President Donald Trump, who insists on deportations and the construction of a wall across the border between the two countries.

The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ratified that ‘the Mexican government will act by all legally possible means to defend human rights of Mexicans abroad, particularly in the United States.’

‘Such an effort will involve an unprecedented roll-out of information to compatriots in the neighboring country for them to know their rights and know how to act on possible violations of their dignity and human rights,’ he said.

He added that legal action will be taken in that country for both individual and collective cases.

‘The Ministry already works in different cases that represent violations of due process, and even human rights,’ he said.
