Mexico claims Trump agreed to not debate wall in public

Source: The Hill

The Mexican government on Friday claimed that President Trump agreed not to publicly discuss payment of the border wall during an hour-long call with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto.

"With regards to the payment of the border wall, both Presidents recognized their clear and very public different positions on this very sensitive subject, and agreed to resolve these differences as part of an integral discussion on all aspects of the bilateral relationship," read a statement released by Peña Nieto's office.

"The Presidents also agreed for now to not publicly talk about this controversial topic."

The White House in a statement confirmed the call with Peña Nieto had taken place. But while the statement is nearly identical to Mexico's, it does not explicitly state that Trump has agreed to not discuss the wall in public.

He is a very poor reader... By this point in his life, he shouldn't be doing that if he is a proficient reader.

So expect leaders around the world to start turning away from the U.S. for leadership and thus looking elsewhere.

Putin wins again!

tRump is making an ass out of all of us, the likes of which our nation may never recover from.

We can thank our hoodwinked friends, family and neighbors for starting our nation's downfall.
