US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson landed in Mexico for a meeting today with President Enrique Pena Nieto to ease diplomatic tensions over President Donald Trump's trade and immigration policies. <br/><br/>Trump has outraged Mexico by vowing to build a wall along the border to keep out migrants, whom he branded rapists and criminals during his presidential campaign. He has also threatened to put up barriers to Mexican exports, shift jobs from that country back to the United States and even proposed halting remittances by US-based Mexicans back to their families. <br/><br/>Now he has sent Tillerson to Mexico City to smooth over tensions with the country's government. US officials said Tillerson and Pena Nieto would discuss trade and ways to curb migration and drug trafficking. Tillerson will be joined on the trip by US Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, who was scheduled to travel on to Mexico from an earlier stop in Guatemala.<br/> '<br/>White House spokesman Sean Spicer said in Washington these are important meetings regarding the president's agenda to improve the quality of lives for both people of Mexico and the United States by combating drug traffickers and finding ways to bolster both our economies through a broader relationship that promotes commerce and legal immigration.<br/>'''' '<br/>
