The move came a day after Trump signed an executive order to construct a border wall, which he has insisted that Mexico fund. “This morning we have informed the White House that I will not attend the work meeting scheduled for next Tuesday with @POTUS,” Peña Nieto said in a tweet. A border wall was one of Trump's signature promises and a rallying cry for his supporters during last year's presidential campaign. Throughout Trump's rise, Peña Nieto has been mostly respectful toward him, even inviting him to visit Mexico City as a candidate last August. It's the time for President Peña to become the patriotic leader of Mexico that we need at this point in time."
