A diplomatic rift between the United States and Mexico
widened as Donald Trump's administration suggested taxing imports from the
southern neighbour to fund a border wall and Mexico's president Enrique Pena
Nieto has scrapped a US visit.
Trump had been scheduled to receive Enrique Pena Nieto at
the White House on Tuesday.
Instead, the Republican president is managing a foreign
policy spat with a normally friendly nation and key trade partner during his
first week in office.
The escalating war of words over who would pay for the
proposed border wall — a central pledge made by Trump during his successful
presidential campaign — hit the breaking point on Thursday.
"If Mexico is unwilling to pay for the badly needed
wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting," Trump said
on Twitter in the morning.
