MEXICO CITY — President Enrique Peña Nieto of Mexico is considering canceling his meeting with President Trump in Washington next week, officials said Wednesday, responding to broad public outrage in Mexico over Mr. Trump’s announcement that he will construct a wall along the southern border of the United States.

Mexicans across the political spectrum have been calling for Mr. Peña Nieto to cancel the meeting since Mr. Trump signaled his intention to build the wall late Tuesday night.

“In light of today’s ambush and ‘my way or the highway’ policies, Mexico would do well in carefully re-evaluating the president’s trip next week,” Arturo Sarukhan, the former Mexican ambassador to the United States, said Wednesday morning.

On Twitter, others had less measured words for Mr. Trump’s announcement, calling it “an offense to Mexico,” a “slap in the face” and a “monument to lies.”

9. Trump is doing swimmingly with our friendly neighbors, isn't he?

Did you see the ex-President of Mexico's tweets to Trump today? He told Trump directly that Mexico won't pay for that #fuckingwall, which is now trending. LOL!! He also mocked him for caring about his loss of popular votes. He hates Trump and goes after him hard.

10. I hope the Mexican government turns their back on Trump.

Nationalizes all the post NAFTA modern manufacturing facilities and builds an economy not dependent on Trump's Amerikkka.

11. The wall is one thing, but insisting again and again that Mexico will pay for it is beyond

being over the top as far as being insulting. Wow!

[Doitnow]

12. Mr. Pena might be worrying about being held hostage for payment of the wall if he came here.

Wouldn't put it past trump.
