President of Mexico Cancels Meeting with Trump

Enrique Peña Nieto, the President of Mexico, has canceled a meeting to have been held next week with U.S. President Donald Trump after Mr. Trump ordered construction of a border wall between the United States and Mexico.

A story in The New York Times relates that according to some historians, the antagonism against Mexico is the worst since President Calvin Coolidge. Friendly relations have been replaced by insults and threats to a longstanding partner.
