Comment on Trump's rocky dealings with Mexico could have consequences much more severe than a few canceled visits

Reuters/Carlos Barria The US and Mexico canceled planning a visit between Presidents Donald Trump and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto after a testy phone call between the two leaders. The latest dust-up was over Trump's push for Mexico to pay for his promised border wall, which Mexico has adamantly rejected. But the incident illustrates a broader, perhaps more serious, flaw in Trump's approach to foreign policy. US and Mexican officials this week scrapped plans for Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto to visit the US after a contentious call with President Donald Trump, in which the two leaders clashed over Trump's insistence that Mexico pay for his promised border wall. Peña Nieto, known for his formality and carefully scripted appearances, sought to avoid public embarrassment over the wall in a potential meeting with Trump, who was unwilling to guarantee that, leading to an impasse, according to The Washington Post.See the rest of the story at Business InsiderNOW WATCH: One of these prototypes could become Trump's border wallSee Also:Brazil has committed to an 'extreme measure' to combat crime in Rio — and it could be a model for the rest of the countryA judge in Mexico ruled a suspected cartel kingpin's arrest was illegal — and he's already out of jailMexico took down a US citizen who rose to the upper ranks of the vicious Zetas cartelSEE ALSO: The US's top military-intelligence official described how the war on Mexico's cartels has produced even more violence DON'T MISS: Mexicans support their president's snub of Trump, but his approval is still rock-bottom
