Mexican president cancels Trump summit

If I was the Mexicans I'd invite that nice Mr Putin to do some military training exercises close to the new wall. The Donald won't mind as they are best buddies.

Re: US Election 2016
He did say he wanted to bring manufacturing back from Mexico to the US. I suppose this is one way.
Mexico will pay through loss of jobs.

It's seems to be an option rather than a certainty right now.

When you look at the plan that’s taking shape now, using comprehensive tax reform as a means to tax imports from countries that we have a trade deficit from, like Mexico. If you tax that $50 billion at 20 per cent of imports – which is by the way a practice that 160 other countries do – right now our country’s policy is to tax exports and let imports flow freely in, which is ridiculous. By doing it that we can do $10 billion a year and easily pay for the wall just through that mechanism alone. That’s really going to provide the funding.

But Mexico could well retaliate and impose a 20% tariff on American Imports. I just looked it up at Mexico are America's third biggest export market. https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade...ppartners.html
It would hurt Mexico more obviously but also America. Whose own exports will be harmed as well as the additional tax both nation's citizens would have to pay.

Bet the Donald is cacking himself tonight. Mother Theresa is going to to read him the riot act over torture/waterboarding tomorrow. The UK just won't stand for that sort of thing (well it's ok as long as we pretend to know nothing about it). Or will he have forget she's coming ?

Yes I can picture it, that thing on his head becomes hair force one as it goes out the window and we go back to the back of the queue for a trade deal

Well seeing as she's grown a pair it could be a nasty shock for the Donald.

May's speech yesterday was ok. I hope she pushes the importance of NATO with Trump.
