The first Latin American president to visit Donald Trump at the White House told the U.S. leader Friday he prefers “bridges to walls,” sending him a gentle rebuke of his controversial proposal to build a wall along the border with Mexico.
Peruvian President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, a U.S.-educated former Wall Street banker, has emerged as an unlikely leader in Latin America, taking a strong stand against Trump’s “America First” agenda while many in the region remain silent.

They are worried about the multi-billion dollar illegal drug sales?
They’d go nuts if even a hundred showed up on Isla San Lorenzo.
Peru only has bridges around it’s prisons?
Doesn't know the difference between "in" and "out", ignorance he shares with gays.
Glad to here he won’t mind having the US drop off a few ship loads of illehgals from his country at Trujillo and Lima shortly.
Hey that looks like a wall. A wall of shame for crying out loud.
And I prefer Americans to Peruvians, so chupa lo, pendejo.
Does Peru allow illegals to collect welfare, EBT cards, give them free education, birth right citizenship, drivers licenses, etc.?
No? Then take a hike Peru and your president, too.
Yes. Wonder if Peru has open borders.
I have it on good authority, Trump is not going to build a wall around Peru.
