President Donald Trump has not yet responded to Mexicos offer of help to those in Texas suffering the effects of flooding following Hurricane Harvey.
The U.S.s southern neighbor has previously provided assistance during natural disasters, offering its support following Hurricane Katrina, which devastated New Orleans in 2005.
Mexicos Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement: The Mexican government takes this opportunity to express its full solidarity with the people and government of the United States as a result of the damages caused by Hurricane Harvey in Texas, and expresses that it has offered to provide help and cooperation to the U.S. government in order to deal with the impact of this natural disasteras good neighbors should always do in trying times."
The timing of Mexicos offer to provide help to Texas came following a series of attacks on the country from President Trump over the weekend.
