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.

Chamizal works for me !!
What you said.
Yes! My town. I could give a Freep report :)
I agree. Bad idea. They will use this to cast doubt on his immigration policy. Plus, it’s Mexico. I’d actually worry for his safety. If anything, schedule the meeting for after his speech and send a plane for the Mexican president if he can’t fly up here himself.
SET-UP SET-UP SET-UP
“So any deal is automatically going to be bad for America? I dont think so.”
What kind of a “deal” is Mexico going to be willing to make? The only thing Trump needs to tell Mexico is, “your people are coming back. Get ready for them.”
Too dangerous, too many people want him dead.
Everyone could meet at Chico’s Tacos, afterwards :)
Yikes!
Yummy!
The Mexican president can pick up the phone or get on a plane.
“If I were Trump, I wouldn’t meet in Messy-co. “
Depends. A good photo-op with el presidente could swing the election!
I agree...Trump should host him or no meeting. There’s a f’n bounty on his head
The too many who want our future POTUS dead are too afraid to visit Mexico.
Go,Trump!
Okay...Cafe Central?
Methinks the Washington Compost is trying to stir crap up again with a made up story. Till I hear/read from a more reliable source I am am assuming this is BS.
Vote Trump 2016
I promise you that Trump will not bow to him like Obama does Middle Eastern leaders....
Trump will explain what he’s going to do when elected and let the Mexican leader start getting things ready for the influx of their own people....
Trump will not back down....
better... less chance of Mexico’s revenge.
All Trump has to do is say, we had a really nice conversation. We both shared Idea and I look forward to talking more. People want to see him solidify his reasonableness. He still can adhere to the policies he has announced... all he needs is the appearance that he can have heads of state conversations. And He wins.
As could a bad photo-op. A smiling best buddies handshaking photo will look like the fix is in. An angry Mexican president treating Trump like an idiot will look very bad. Trump can't control the situation - it's too high risk with little reward. It's in Mexico's best interest to keep things as they are so I wouldn't expect a positive reception.
