Humiliation has its limits: Mexican president cancels visit to the US.
Following Donald Trump's recommendation that the Mexican president cancel his visit to the United States if he did not pay for the border wall between the two countries, a project conceived by Trump, Enrique Peña Nieto canceled his trip to Washington, which was scheduled for the 31st of this month.
247 - Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto canceled his meeting with US President Donald Trump on Thursday, the 26th, which had been scheduled for the 31st of this month.
"This morning we informed the White House that I will not be participating in the working meeting scheduled for next Tuesday with @POTUS," Peña Nieto announced on Twitter.
Shortly before, Trump had suggested that Peña Nieto cancel his trip to Washington if he wasn't going to pay for the wall that is to be built on the border between the two countries, as Trump plans.
Peña Nieto demanded "respect" from the United States for Mexico, "a sovereign nation." "Mexico does not believe in walls, I have said this more than once. Mexico will not pay for any wall," he declared.
