According to washingtonpost,The Mexican president’s move came a day after Trump signed an executive order to construct a border wall which he has insisted that Mexico fund. Mexican officials have angrily rejected paying for the wall.Addressing a GOP policy retreat in Philadelphia, Trump said Thursday afternoon, “The president of Mexico and myself have agreed to cancel our planned meeting” next week. “Unless Mexico is going to treat the United States fairly, with respect, such a meeting would be fruitless.”Trump said that “border security is a serious, serious national issue and problem” that threatens the “sovereignty and safety” of Americans. “The American people will not pay for the wall, and I’ve made that clear to the government of Mexico,” he added. He also blasted the North American Free Trade Agreement, vowing that “I will not allow Americans to pay the cost” of the accord.
