Mexican President Threatens to Cancel Trump Meeting After Wall Announcement

Mexico’s President Enrique Pena Nieto is definitely in a pickle over his decision to meet with President Donald Trump next week, especially after Trump started the process to build the wall.

Nieto so upset, he is reportedly having second thoughts about the planned meeting with President Trump, and has threatened to cancel. Nieto is only polling at 12 percent in Mexico, and if he were to attend a meeting where he would seem very small compared to what Trump is doing for America, it would be really bad for his re-election chances… if he still has any.

Finally, we have a President who stands up for America!

From Daily Mail:

Mexico’s president is ‘considering’ canceling next week’s visit to Washington following President Donald Trump’s order to begin construction of a wall between the two countries, a senior official said Wednesday.

The decision to rethink the visit comes amid growing outrage in Mexico, and a sense among many that President Enrique Pena Nieto has been too weak in the face of Trump’s tough policy stance.

The official, who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press the administration ‘is considering’ scrapping the January 31 visit. ‘That’s what I can tell you.’

Mexico has already seen two U.S. companies turn around and decide to build in America. That’s good for us, and bad for Mexico and Nieto. And whether he decides to meet with Trump or not, it seems like a lose-lose situation for him, so I am glad I am not making this decision.

I wouldn’t give two cents to stand in Nieto’s shoes right now, but I will say this: the U.S. already feels stronger than it did last week, and we have President Trump to thank for that. Mexico has to work out their issues and start building stuff on their own.

Do you think Mexico’s leader will cancel on Trump? What will be the ramifications? Share your comments and share this story with your friends!
