Mexican President Cancels Trip To Washington After Heated Call With Trump

Neither leaders will back down from their stance on Mexico paying for Trump’s border wall.

The president of Mexico halted upcoming plans to visit the White House after a reportedly tense phone conversation with President Donald Trump, according to the Washington Post.

U.S. and Mexican officials told the Post that President Enrique Peña Nieto called off his visit to Washington D.C. after Trump refused his request to publicly affirm Mexico’s ongoing stance that the country will not pay for a border wall between the two countries during a phone call on Tuesday.

President Peña Nieto has long maintained that Mexico will not pay for Trump’s plans to fortify the border with a wall, as the country finds even the gesture offensive.

The officials who were familiar with the call spoke to the newspaper on condition of anonymity because the 50-minute call was confidential.

A White House official confirmed with CNN that Peña Nieto’s meeting with Trump was tentatively scheduled for March, but was placed on hold after their conversation.

A three-sentence White House readout of the phone call did not specifically mention Trump’s multibillion-dollar border wall, but it did note that the president “underscored his commitment to expanding cooperation between the United States and Mexico on security, trade, and immigration.”

According to the Washington Post, Peña Nieto and Trump spent a “considerable portion” of the phone call discussing the border wall.

A Mexican official told the paper that Trump “lost his temper” during Tuesday’s conversation. U.S. officials said Trump was frustrated and exasperated because he thought Peña Nieto was being unreasonable for expecting him to walk back plans for his controversial campaign promise, according to the Post.

Good for President Peña Nieto! I salute him for standing his ground.

I've never understood why Trump thought Mexico should/would pay for the Wall. Makes no sense. Did China insist the Mongol hordes pay for the Great Wall of China? It's mental.

That's why he's a billionaire and you're not.

The Mexican President is a billionaire? I didn't know.

Alright! Trump,has decoded the secrect to keep Mexicans from crossing the border- just insult them over the phone. All he has to do is call all the illegals and they will leave. Dude is brilliant!
 
Trump is a bully - but he can't bully Mexico.
Speaking of bullies......

Mainstream media dutifully complies with Obama request to attend speech — but not report on it

This guy used the IRS to attack anyone he didn't like.
He's a criminal.
Now that he's not running for office anymore he's telling reporters than cannot report what he says in a event.

“In this country, we don’t allow politicians to issue gag orders,” he wrote. “Can you imagine if President Trump had tried to pull this? It would have been called a threat to the First Amendment, and another reason for impeachment.”

Kind of let's you know what he wants to be. A dictator.

You liberals sure can pick em.
