RadioOnFire.com - Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto canceled a meeting with US President Donald Trump that was set for next week after continuing tensions over Trump's plan to build a wall on the border of the two countries.
"This morning we have informed the White House that I will not attend the meeting scheduled for next Tuesday with the POTUS," Peña Nieto tweeted.
The two presidents have been feuding over the wall and more specifically, who will pay for it. Trump cited a $10 billion estimate that was given to him during the campaign by the National Precast Concrete Association. Other estimates suggest that there are uncertainties that could drive the cost up to as much as $25 billion.
Trump also tweeted early Thursday morning that it would be better to skip the meeting if Peña Nieto continued to insist Mexico would not pay for the wall.
