Donald Trump is considering jetting to Mexico City on Wednesday for a meeting with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, just hours before he delivers a high-stakes speech in Arizona to clarify his views on immigration policy, according to people in the United States and Mexico familiar with the discussions.
The possibility, which was hatched in recent days by Trump and his campaign advisers, comes after Trump has wavered for weeks on whether he would continue to hold his hard-line positions on the central and incendiary issue of his campaign, in particular his call to deport an estimated 11 million immigrants who are living in the United States illegally.
The people informed of Trumps plans spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity surrounding the matter. They said late Tuesday that talks between the Trump campaign and Mexican officials were ongoing, with Trump interested in going but logistics and security concerns still being sorted out.
Peña Nieto has extended an invitation for the businessman to visit him in Mexico to talk about various political and economic issues, the people said. Trump, sensing an opportunity, decided over the weekend to accept the invitation and push for a visit this week.

Sure hope team Trump knows what the Mexico Pres has in mind. This is a rather high risk trip.
Paranoia? Hardly. Trump has received many death threats by cartel leaders to date.
We in Texas live with cartel violence spilling across our borders every single day. They are brutal, well equipped and cunning.
You are right. It is dangerous.
Calculated risk. It seals the election if it goes well.
There will be plenty of security and a helicopter nearby.
He’ll be fine.
Its a trap...? You bet...for the Mexican Presidento!
I highly doubt that. If Trump had said thanks for the invite but why not come up here instead the Pena Nieto would have refused. Very publicly.

Tried and true counter measures to minimize risks. And there are many other methods which can and do substantially reduce risk.
Wow! Trump is definitely smart about so many things.
Wasn’t it Churchill who had doubles dressed up like him that provided diversions from where he was actually at?
Trump reminds of Churchill.
