I’d like to remind El Presidente that Mexico has a GDP that’s 1/20th of the United States, similar to the current exchange rate between our two currencies. This factors in the $60 billion trade advantage that Mexico currently enjoys. I’d urge Senor Pena to reconsider and humbly take his hat in his hand and keep the meeting with President Trump. They have way more to lose than gain with this silly display of machismo.

he $60 billion trade advantage that Mexico currently enjoys>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
That trade advantage is about to change. Nieto will soon wish he had attended.
The fact is that they were negotiating an agenda for discussion. Trump wanted to discuss the wall which would prevent Mexican/Latino demographic invasion of the USA.
Pena did not. They could not agree to an agenda.
Trump tweeted to stay hoome if they dod not want to discuss the wall. Pena cancelled.
Now Pena will have no input. Big Mistake. Mexico will pay for the wall or have no trade advantage. And the Chinese are already wooing Pena.....but the Donald will do the job. If the Chinese get in the middle of this then both Mexico and China will be paying for the wall.
He has no leverage. Trump will amend or cancel NAFTA and build the wall and figure a way to get Mexico to pony up. Mexico is n for 8 years of tough love. They need to focus internally and do what they can to build their own economy. They can start by reducing crime and take some of their states back from drug cartels.
