Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray said on Friday the White House had denied that U.S. President Donald Trump’s Chief of Staff John Kelly had said Mexico was on the “verge of collapse”, referring to a U.S. media report earlier this week.

“We have spoken to the White House, and they have confirmed General Kelly did not make at any moment comments of that nature,” Videgaray said in response to a question about a report that appeared in the New York Times on Thursday.

“It would be clearly contrary to everything that we have heard and know of General Kelly in these past months,” he added.
