Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner visits Mexico to repair relations, but leaves US ambassador out

Jared Kushner was in Mexico Wednesday to repair relations with the United States’ southern neighbor and key trading partner after a tense phone call between Presidents Donald Trump and Enrique Pena Nieto ended recently with the Mexican leader’s canceling a planned visit to America.

 But Kushner, Trump's senior adviser and son-in-law who had no government or diplomatic experience before taking office and recently lost his top-secret security clearance, has been criticized for not including the outgoing U.S. ambassador in his meetings.

The meetings with Pena Nieto and Mexican Foreign Secretary Luis Videgaray come at a critical but fraught time in U.S.-Mexican relations. Two weeks ago, Trump and Pena Nieto were speaking on the phone about the Mexican leader’s finally visiting the United States when Trump went off script and brought up the wall, according to two senior administration officials.
