The Hill: Mexico's Peña Nieto scraps plan to visit White House following call with Trump on border wall: report
Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto has reportedly scrapped his plans to visit the White House after a contentious call with President Trump discussing his proposed border wall.
U.S. and Mexican officials familiar with the call told The Washington Post that Peña Nieto and Trump reached an impasse while discussing the wall. Peña Nieto reportedly asked Trump to publicly affirm Mexico’s stance that it will not pay for the wall, but Trump refused to cave.

Mexico simply must learn to respect the United States as an equal and not as a people and a nation to be used and abused at their discretion and pleasure. Until this happens constructive relations simply won't be possible. Until such time extreme caution will need to be applied in dealings with them.
Lighten up Francis, I mean B.
Look, there's a cloud, better yell at it.
Lighten up francis, good one anon. Bet he don't get it. Wish i was a fly on the wall during that call. :)
You're imagining things again. . Better care about your own country, Russia, than trying to divide Mexico and the US
;)
but all smart enough to laugh at Trump's BS that Mexico would pay for the wall
Actually my country is America. Bottom line: Mexico does not respect us. They never really have respected us. Until they do constructive relations will be problematic.
