As the election draws closer, Donald Trump is doing everything in his power to seem more like a political leader and less like a businessman. Trump and his associates have announced a move that may help him further change his image. According to CNN, Donald Trump has just announced that he will be meeting with the President of Mexico very soon. This news comes as a surprise to many.
The news began when Donald Trump sent out a tweet that he had accepted an invitation to sit down with the President of Mexico. The tweet was released Tuesday, August 30th around eleven pm. The tweet stated that the President invited Trump to his country and he was excited to speak with him. The tweet can be viewed below.
Donald Trump has caused quite a bit of controversy with his statements about other nations and ethnic groups. Some of his most controversial and offensive comments have been targeted towards the people of Mexico and Mexican Americans. Trump has gained a lot of his support from people who believe in harsher immigration policies in the United States and who want to build a wall between the border of the US and Mexico. Many people of Hispanic descent find these comments and ideas outrageously offensive and wildly racist.
The office of the President of Mexico has confirmed that he will be meeting with Trump. CNN is also reporting that this is a tradition that each President of the country has followed. They typically will invite the nominee from both parties to discuss the relationship between both countries. Many are wondering what the outcome will be, as President Enrique Pena Nieto has compared Trump to Hitler in the past.
This meeting will set the tone for Trump and his relationships with bordering US nations if he is elected president. As the story continues, the public must patiently wait for the news of the outcome of this meeting.
