Pres. Trump confirms he had a “friendly call” Friday morning with Mexican president

At a news conference with British Prime Minister Theresa May, President Donald Trump confirmed he had an hourlong call with President Enrique Pena Nieto. The call came a day after the Mexican leader canceled a visit to Washington after Trump moved forward on building a border wall.

Trump reiterated his stance that the US-Mexico border is porous and drugs are making their way into the U.S.

He also vowed to renegotiate American trade deals with Mexico.

Trump and Pena Nieto were supposed to meet in Washington next week, but the Mexican president said Thursday that he was canceling the visit.

He canceled after Trump moved forward with plans to construct a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and have Mexico pay for construction.
