Mexican president cancels visit to Washington as tensions with Trump administration intensify

The Washington Post: MEXICO CITY — Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto on Thursday canceled a planned visit to the White House amid outrage in Mexico about President Trump’s efforts to start building a border wall, in what appeared to be one of the most serious rifts in years between Washington and a critical ally. Trump later asserted that the meeting was called off by mutual agreement and said that under the circumstances, it would have been “fruitless.” The Mexican president’s move came a day after Trump signed an executive order to construct a border wall, which he has insisted that Mexico fund. Mexican officials have angrily rejected paying for the wall. Addressing a GOP policy retreat in Philadelphia, Trump said Thursday afternoon, “The president of Mexico and myself have agreed to cancel our planned meeting” next week. “Unless Mexico is going to treat the United States fairly, with respect, such a meeting would be fruitless.”
