Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said he and Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray Caso did not discuss President Trump’s campaign promise that Mexico would pay for the southern border wall during their meeting last week.

“We had no conversation about that issue,” Tillerson told ABC “This Week” host George Stephanopoulos on Sunday. “George, it’s just not part of our discussions between the foreign minister and myself.”
