墨西哥總統將與兩名川普內閣高官會面

Two key members of U.S. President Donald Trump's cabinet are hoping to soothe concern and anger about the new U.S. administration's policies toward Mexico.

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly meet Thursday with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto and members of his cabinet, in what is expected to be the first in a series of high-level meetings focusing on drug trafficking, trade and immigration.

"It's significant that the president is sending the secretaries to Mexico so early in his administration," White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said Wednesday. "It's symbolic of the meaningful relationship our two nations have." Spicer also referred to relations between the two countries as "healthy and robust."

The trip comes at what is seen as a low point in relations between the two countries, which have enjoyed peace along their 3,100 kilometer-long common border since the Mexican-American War of the late 1840s.

Trump has repeatedly insisted that Mexico, one way or another, must pay for a border wall, which lawmakers in Washington estimate would cost at least $12 billion. And just this week, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security outlined policies that could result in the deportation of millions of undocumented immigrants.

On Wednesday, Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray, quoted by Reuters, said his country will not accept new "unilateral" U.S. immigration proposals and will not hesitate in taking the matter to the United Nations.美國總統川普內閣的兩位主要成員希望能夠安撫由於美國新政府的墨西哥政策所引起的擔憂和憤怒。

美國國務卿蒂爾森和國土安全部長凱利星期四會見墨西哥總統涅託及其內閣成員，預計這將是一系列高級別會議的第一次會議，雙方會談重點是販毒、貿易和移民。

白宮新聞祕書斯派塞週三表示，“川普總統在剛剛開始執政之際就派遣內閣成員到墨西哥訪問，這是很重要的。”他說， “這是我們兩國有意義的雙邊關係的象徵。” 斯派塞還提到兩國關係“健康強大”。

這次訪問正值兩國關係陷入低點。兩國共享3100公里長的邊境線，自1840年代美墨戰爭以來，就一直和平共處。

川普一再堅持，墨西哥不管以什麼方式，必須支付建造邊界牆的費用。國會議員估計，至少需要120億美元。而就在本週，國土安全部提出了可能遣返數百萬非法移民的政策。

路透社週三引述墨西哥外交部長路易斯·維德加雷的話說，墨西哥不會接受新的“單方面”美國移民提案，並在必要時會毫不猶豫地要求聯合國處理這個問題。
