The President of Mexico  Peña Nieto has cancelled his proposed meeting with  his United States counterpart  Donald Trump, insisting that Mexico will not pay for the building of a wall between the borders of the two countries.

Donald Trump hasn’t  been president for a week and already the US-Mexico battle over a border wall is turning red hot.

Not giving an inch, Trump bluntly said Thursday that it would be better to cancel his scheduled meeting later this month with the Mexican president if he continues to refuse to pay for a wall on the border.
Trump’s pushback came after Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto said — again — on Wednesday that his country “will not pay for any wall,” Trump tweeted that they should just skip their planned January 31 meeting at the White House.
