Mend (one's) fences (phrase) means to make peace with a person or group or to repair a relationship with someone usually after an argument. It is usually used along with the preposition ‘with’. 

Eg: (1) Is it too late to mend fences with your ex-wife?"

(2) The mayor is trying to mend fences with members of the city council so they will approve his plan.

In politics it is especially used for the improvement of poor relations

Eg: "Whatever thoughts he may have entertained about mending some fences with [them] were banished"
