President Mexico avoids US after uncomfortable talk with Trump

The Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto temporarily waives his planned trip to Washington.

According to The Washington Post, Trump and Peña Nieto talked about 50 minutes last week about the wall that the US president wants to build to stop immigration from Mexico. According to a Mexican government official, the two Presidents disagreed and Trump lost his patience. US officials said Trump was annoyed and frustrated because Peña Nieto wanted his counterpart to publicly declare that Mexico would not pay the wall between the two countries.

Trump has always said that the neighboring country has to pay for the costs of building the wall.
