Pay for the wall yourself, Mexico president tells Trump

NEW DELHI: US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump likes to brag about being tough with world leaders but he may have bungled his first chance to prove it when he met Mexico’s Enrique Pena Nieto on Wednesday. He may, in fact, have been played by the seasoned politician, who is running low in polls and surprised friends and foes alike by inviting Trump, and Hillary Clinton, to Mexico.

Throwing open a remarks-only press appearance, a self-assured Trump said the wall along the border with Mexico, his pet immigration project, was discussed but not who will pay for it, which has been his campaign’s signature theme.
