President Trump And President Enrique Peña Nieto Spoke By Phone Friday Morning



Washington Post: President Trump and Mexican president speak by phone amid crisis in relations

MEXICO CITY — Amid one of the worst crises in U.S.-Mexico relations in years, President Trump and President Enrique Peña Nieto spoke by phone Friday morning, according to an official in the Mexican president’s office.

A White House official confirmed the conversation, saying the call took place about 9:30 a.m. Eastern time.

The call came a day after Peña Nieto canceled a planned trip to Washington, following Trump’s insistence that Mexico pay for a U.S. wall across the border. The official did not elaborate on the content of the call, which was first reported by the Associated Press.

WNU Editor: They will work out their differences. But in President Trump's mind the impact is already being felt .... no U.S. companies are going to announce new projects in Mexico until this is sorted out. As for the wall .... it is going to be built.
