Mexican president cancels U.S. trip after Trump tweet

Mexican president Enrique Pena Nieto says he will not go to the U.S. to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump.

The news comes after Trump said on Thursday that his Mexican counterpart should cancel his scheduled visit to Washington if Mexico refuses to pay for a wall he has ordered constructed along the border.

“This morning we have informed the White House I will not attend the working meeting planned for next Tuesday,” Pena Nieto tweeted.

“Mexico reaffirms its willingness to work with the United States to reach agreements that benefit both nations,” he added.

In Washington, White House press secretary Sean Spicer responded to the Mexican president’s announcement, saying: “We’ll look for a date to schedule something in the future. We will keep the lines of communication open.”

Earlier Thursday, Trump had tweeted that “If Mexico is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting” in Washington D.C.

Trump said Wednesday he would start building a U.S.-Mexico border wall and has vowed to make Mexico pay for it. Mexico opposes the wall and has repeatedly said it won’t pay.

Officials had said Mexico was “considering” cancelling after the border wall announcement, but Trump appeared to beat Mexico to the punch in that game of brinkmanship.

Former foreign relations secretary Jorge Castaneda told local media that after Trump’s tweet, “Pena Nieto has no other choice but to say ‘I’m not going.“’

Trump’s unpredictable style appeared to catch Mexico’s normally quiet and cautious diplomacy off guard.

“I think that, in general, diplomacy is not conducted via Twitter,” Finance Secretary Jose Antonio Meade told Radio Formula.

Mexico’s best-known opposition politician, leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, tweeted that “in the face of Trump’s latest outburst, don’t go to the meeting, and submit an urgent complaint to the U.N. for human rights violations.”

Of note on Donald Trump's signature to not be a part of the Trans Pacific Partnership; known also as the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement.

There are four permanent members since 2006. Negotiations were in place for eight more to join in February 2016, with a final date of signature/acceptance on 4 February 2018. One of which is the US_of_A.

On 23 January 2017, Donald Trump formally signed the documents indicating its non-interest in the agreement and of note the US_of_A is the only country to indicate its non-interest.

It is no surprise that Grump hasten the building of the wall because as a builder the is sure to be some benefit to his estate's coffers.

The man is just there to build his empire, laughing all the way to the bank at the taxpayers' expense. America and the world have been blindsided by Trump.

One slip in the USA and he is gone.  The low corruption rate in the civil service is what is keeping the US head above water.  Politicians scared of the FBI and federal attorneys.

There is a boatload of evidence against him but evidence didn't keep silly people from voting for him. Now he wants an investigation into voters fraud not thinking that his own daughter is registered to vote in two different states. Trump is the biggest schmuck.

The Trump family is flying from New York to Washington when Donald looks down on the cities below and says "I think I'll throw a $1000 bill out the window and make some American happy." Melania says "Oh honey, why not throw ten $100 bills out the window and make ten Americans happy?" So then Ivanka says, "Even better Daddy, throw 100 ten dollar bills out the window and make 100 people happy? To which the pilot says "Why don't you all jump out the window and make the whole damn country happy?"

Good on Trump for holding out against Enrique Pena Nieto.  The previous half-Kenyan president of the US had the country trading at $US 60 Billion dollars trade deficit against Mexico because of weak trade agreements.  It's time someone with a backbone who has the interests of Americans stand up to them.  NAFTA should be the first to go or re-negotiated.

A wall is anti-social so I oppose it because it will limit opportunity to understand each other. I think the status-quo are afraid their smooth ride to cause deceit will collapse with the sure shot Donald. People are resigning because they are afraid of their cover up of sources causing suppression against people like me to become known. Who would not be afraid of my website and the mentally ill being given recognition. System: RATIO: TRUMP 14:32 CONTROL. http://www.ronaldarjune.com

Like him or hate him, one thing, he does as he says.  At least, what you see is what you get!

Trump will win some and lose some and some mixed.  Is the end, it will be a net win for the economy.

The wall will be built in areas of vast emptiness.  It will cost $12 billion but all within the US economy, so it will provide jobs and, as such, be mitigated!

Obamacare will not be fully repealed but the uninsurable will be ring-fenced and removed from the insurance pool falling into a form of Medicaid.

The reduction in corporate taxes will be a boost to domestic investment.  Ideally, why is a corporation even paying income taxes?  Let the profits go to investment or dividends.  The dividends are taxable!

Trump don't play fool, fool game. He is a bad ass president to tell Mexico president don't come and waste my time. One way or another, Mexico will pay for the wall. I can't wait to see what next week brings.                

BTW, the Queen extend an invitation to Trump to visit the U.K. She want to feel Trump's grabber hands.

So you think the only thing which makes the US a hyper power is low corruption?  BTW, how do you define corruption?  How about all the lobbyist who influence senators on positions?

Shallow!!!
