of jobs and companies lost. If Mexico is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting.
How long before Nieto realizes he has no leverage and comes crawling to Trump?

Nieto knows that if that wall gets built, he's going to have his own massive immigration problem without the resources to deal with it.
Bingo. Everything South of Mexico + Messicans will come North and are now going to be stuck on Mexico's side of the border instead of being dispersed over 50 states on our side.
lol over 100k posts on this board and still can't effectively communicate with his compatriots
Though I did communicate effectively enough with you on your nick.
tee, hee.
You'd think Mexico would want a wall. They don't because it slows their drug trafficking.
Sure walls can be breached, but then why build a fence around any military installation? It's a deterrent. There will be tunnels under said wall, this we know. It still bottlenecks the inflow and creates more pressure for Mexico to deal with their own ing issues.
According to Reuters:::
[[[Pena Nieto wrote on Twitter that he was pulling out of a planned meeting with Trump in Washington next week.
He was responding to an earlier tweet from Trump who said it would be better for the Mexican leader not to come if Mexico would not pay for the planned wall.]]]
Good luck. Russia has smaller economy than MEX.
Gee, and just imagine a week ago Mexico was a piece of .
Just shows ta go ya.
Nieto was the most unpopular President since they have been keeping track in Mexico. He may be backed into a corner now where he can't negotiate with Trumps administration. A trade war with Mexico could get ugly fast.
Sure but pissing on Trump will shoot his popularity through the roof.
He mist be happy tbqh
He is pushing for an import tax.
Here comes our first trade war, with diplomatic fall out.
I can see Mexico stopping cooperation with the DEA and simply standing aside while the cartels do whatever they want.
Relationships between nations are more than one dimensional.
This is shaping up to be the first down payment we will have to be making to pay for Trumps inep ude and ignorance.
I agree. Which means Nieto will have the support of his people to retaliate.
I guess we will see who blinks first.
Trump has all the leverage

Good luck with your new masters.
Trump would retaliate by putting all US mexicans in work camps
Nah...just send in the Marines and take the Baja peninsula for payment.
One of the fundamentals of globalization has been the FREE movement of capital (unless you're poor Mexican)
Trash and Repugs gonna EVERYTHING up.
he bluffed, they called
I agree.
What happens if Mexico collectively decides it doesn't care?
Piss people off and rationality tends to go out the window.
...You mean like they've been doing since refusing to let B.B. Thornton live to tell?
We've never looked back.
As I said, I guess we will find out.
I think the Mexican government will most likely cave. My guess as to the next order consequence of that unpopular move will be to have that government thrown out, and a new group come in that will be elected on the basis of fighting the shaming of their country, a very predictable consequence. The new government will then get into a trade war.
Provoking a nation in this way is vastly different than a business negotiation.

Next Mexican election is in 2018, if not sooner.
DMC just wants to see the world burn as he withers and dies from old age (or from heart attack due to fatness) and leave the mess to the younger generation to solve.
Back on topic though, this cancellation is good for Trump. He's probably the most hated person in Mexico. The Cartel could do him in.
