TRUMP PRESSED PEÑA NIETO TO STOP OPPOSING WALL

President Trump pressed Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto to soften his public opposition to paying for Trump’s proposed border wall and tell the news media that the countries would “work it out” — and he threatened to cut off communication with Mexico if his demands weren’t met, according to newly published transcripts.

“If you are going to say that Mexico is not going to pay for the wall, then I do not want to meet with you guys anymore because I cannot live with that,” Trump said in a call in January, according to The Washington Post.

Peña Nieto retorted that Mexico would not pay for the wall: “My position has been and will continue to be very firm, saying that Mexico cannot pay for that wall.”
