Mexico’s president says he rejects the decision by US President Donald Trump to build a border wall and repeated that his country would not pay for it. Pena Nieto and other officials have repeatedly said Mexico will not pay. Analyst Jorge Zepeda Patterson argued that Pena Nieto should keep the meeting as scheduled, saying Mexico should exhaust all possibilities for negotiating to minimize damage. He said Pena Nieto should try to reach an agreement that’s enough to let Trump claim victory and then move on to another foil. Pena Nieto was roundly criticized after inviting candidate Trump to Mexico City last August and disappointed many of his countrymen by not publicly confronting Trump on the wall.
