The State Department is denying plotting with the Mexican government to invade Canada.

At the department’s daily briefing on Tuesday, spokeswoman Victoria Nuland wasn’t quite sure why U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Mexico Foreign Minister Patricia Espinosa were meeting — but quickly ruled out a secret plan to invade our northern neighbor.

MS. NULAND:　 No, no, no.　 It’s not anything classified.

QUESTION:　 All right.

MS. NULAND:　 I think it may just have been logistic.　 We’ll get that for you.
