Trump says decision to nix Mexico meeting was mutual
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTrump is claiming that he and Nieto agreed jointly to cancel their planned meeting over disagreements about who will pay for the US president’s promised southern border wall.
Trump says during a Republican House and Senate retreat in Philadelphia that, “The president of Mexico and myself have agreed to cancel our planned meeting scheduled for next week.”
Trump says that, “Unless Mexico is going to treat the United States fairly, with respect, such a meeting would be fruitless, and I want to go a different route. I have no choice.”
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said earlier today that the administration would be looking to reschedule the meeting in the future and would “keep the lines of communication open.”
