Mexico City (IINA) – US Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday decried during a visit to Mexico, the Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump's rhetoric against the neighboring country, describing it as "dangerous."
“Some of the rhetoric coming from some presidential candidates of the other team are I think dangerous, damaging and incredibly ill-advised,” Biden said, in reference to Trump, who angered Mexico from the start of his candidacy by declaring that he would force the neighboring government to pay for a giant wall to keep illegal migrants out if elected, according to AFP.
“But here’s what I’m here to tell you: They do not, they do not, they do not represent the view of the vast majority of the American people,” Biden said in his address to Mexico’s foreign and finance ministers and other government officials.
He added that the message expressed about Mexicans and Mexico in the US election campaign is “disturbing,” but that this episode of “xenophobia” will pass.
“This too shall pass…. We have gone through these episodes of xenophobia but they have always been overcome.”
Biden arrived Thursday in Mexico City on a two-day visit, at the head of a high-level US delegation for annual talks on boosting economic and commercial ties with Mexico, one of the United States' top trading partners.
