Mexico is much bigger than NAFTA.

Luis Videgaray Caso

We want to send a clear message that the Mexican government won't endanger its fiscal position, and we will remain on a path of fiscal responsibility.

Luis Videgaray Caso

Mexico will under no circumstance pay for the wall that Mr. Trump is proposing.

If NAFTA goes away, it's not the end of the world. It certainly is not the end of trade between Mexico and the United States.

Luis Videgaray Caso

I think a lot of scapegoating has been done on NAFTA. The reality is, a lot of the jobs have been lost mostly to technology. And that is something that happens well beyond the reach of NAFTA or any other trade agreement.

The size of the energy sector in Mexico is just so vast; it has an outsize impact on the rest of the Mexican economy.

We don't believe trade deals are zero-sum games.

Luis Videgaray Caso

I don't know what country's willing to export - for free - the computer scientists, engineers, doctors. It's hard to me to understand.

Luis Videgaray Caso

The presidency is not a collegial body... He will surround himself with people who share his vision.

Luis Videgaray Caso

We need to stop illegal weapons flowing from the U.S. into Mexico.

Luis Videgaray Caso

We always think about illegal stuff moving through the border south to north, but people forget that most guns - and we're not talking small guns, we're talking heavy weapons - they get to the cartels and create literally small armies out of the cartels.

Luis Videgaray Caso

Mexico is a market economy, but we should have better markets.

Luis Videgaray Caso

Taxes are never popular.

Luis Videgaray Caso

It's very important that the government is close to the business community and that we understand their concerns. But at some point, the government needs to be a government.

Luis Videgaray Caso

The government needs to work to improve how markets perform.
