    WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump threatened in a phone call with his Mexican counterpart to send U.S. troops to stop "bad hombres down there" unless the Mexican military does more to control them itself, according to an excerpt of a transcript of the conversation obtained by The Associated Press.

    The excerpt of the call did not make clear who exactly Trump considered "bad hombres," — drug cartels, immigrants, or both — or the tone and context of the remark, made in a Friday morning phone call between the leaders. It also did not contain Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto's response.

    Still, the excerpt offers a rare and striking look at how the new president is conducting diplomacy behind closed doors. Trump's remarks suggest he is using the same tough and blunt talk with world leaders that he used to rally crowds on the campaign trail.

    A White House spokesman did not respond to requests for comment.

    Darn.
    I've long thought the US should annex Mexico, toss out the cartel pussies and develop Mexicos natural resources and economy.
    Also lots of nice Mexican pussy.

    Threats represent strength? Invading your neighbor unprovoked is a sign of strength?

    The AP is saying that they have the transcript of the conversation. They are quoting an excerpt of it. Your denial is irrelevant in that context. You would need something saying that they transcript was fabricated.

    It is nice to see your breadth still ends at the echo chamber. I bet you still think Fox News is fair and balanced too.

    A person with access to the official transcript of the phone call provided only that portion of the conversation to The Associated Press. The person gave it on condition of anonymity because the administration did not make the details of the call public.

    The Mexican website Aristegui Noticias on Tuesday published a similar account of the phone call, based on the reporting of journalist Dolia Estevez. The report described Trump as humiliating Pena Nieto in a confrontational conversation.
    Dim, they are two separate issues which if you had better reading skills you would have picked up on that.

    Eduardo Sanchez, spokesman for Mexico's presidential office, denied the tone of the conversation was hostile or humiliating, saying it was respectful.

    "It is absolutely false that the president of the United States threatened to send troops to Mexico," Sanchez said in an interview with Radio Formula on Wednesday night.

    Fuzzyfakenews wishcasting. He can't produce "the excerpt from the transcript" because it didn't happen and there isn't one.
