Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto has said he will not go to the US for meeting with President Donald Trump next week.

The move came on Thursday after Trump said it was "better to cancel" Pena Nieto's visit to Washington if Mexico was unwilling to foot the bill for a border wall. ...


"This morning we informed the White House that I will not attend the work meeting planned for next Tuesday with the POTUS," Pena Nieto said on Twitter, referring to Trump.

"Mexico reiterates its willingness to work with the United States to reach accords that favor both nations."

Pena Nieto condemned Trump's move to build a border wall , and insisted that his country has no intention of paying for it.

"I regret and condemn the decision of the United States to continue construction of a wall that, for years, has divided us instead of uniting us," President Pena Nieto said in a brief televised message on Wednesday.

"Mexico does not believe in walls. I have said it time and again: Mexico will not pay for any wall," he said, referring to Trump's vow to make his southern neighbour pay for the barrier.

"Mexico gives and demands respect as the completely sovereign nation that we are," Pena Nieto said.

He said he would wait for a report from a high-level Mexican delegation holding meetings in the US capital this week and consult governors and MPs before deciding on "the next steps to take."

Pena Nieto said he had ordered Mexico's 50 consulates in the US to act as legal counsel for the rights of Mexican migrants.

"Our communities are not alone. The government of Mexico will offer legal counsel that will guarantee the protection they need," he said.

Earlier on Wednesday, Trump signed directives to order the building of the wall, and crack down on US cities that shield undocumented immigrants.

"A nation without borders is not a nation. Starting today, the US gets back control of its borders," he said.

TRUMP ... king of stronghead

Trump sef.

These are interesting times. Watching closely with popcorn in hand.

God bless the people and government of Mexico! Compare this reaction to what happened when those born to be slaves were described as "fantastically corrupt" by the very person they were going to visit.

Mexico can align with china and russia to spite trump. Mumu president of mexico acting like a dunce.

FP tins. Mod do the needful as this laws doesn't affect Mexicans alone but also the undocumented migrants in US

cstr55:

Align with Russia you say?And you think the US will allow a close door neighbour to fall into Russian control?
The President of Mexico knows the consequences of that and he wouldn't dare. The US would rather invade Mexico and seize the rest of the country like they got Texas. Afterall, Russia already did it with Ukraine.
Cuba tried such gamble with the soviets and we know how it all ended.

Bro, if Mexico apply knowledge, they can do it. Get a couple of know hows from those countries and also get land armies. The US will wake up a year and half later and find out say Mexico dun align considerably. I hope it is not all the way aligned but enough to spike the trump administration to spend resources. All of latin america or say most can also do the same underground style. Trumps arrogance will make america suffer the loss of allies. All that UN ambassador talk about taking names will surely back fire. You want protectionism, other people will play protectionism too. You go cun understand say e get reason why obama travel around the world apologizing during his first year in office. Trump think say na 1917 be this Mumu man.

Hmmmm.....which new gist be this again?

Oh! Na that my wahala countryman again abi? No wonder
