Mexico Capitulates to Trump?


Donald Trump may still be in the middle of a heated race for the GOP nomination, but it looks like he’s got one victory under his belt already: a spot at the table with the Mexican government:

Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto’s chief of staff, Francisco Guzmán, announced on Super Tuesday the Mexican government will use its network of consulates to help explain to Americans why relations between the two countries should be strong. This diplomatic campaign will include meetings with business leaders and politicians alike.

The Mexican government claims the diplomatic campaign is not an effort to get involved in the 2016 presidential races. The country’s secretary for foreign affairs, however, recently called presidential candidate Donald Trump “racist and ignorant.” While two previous Mexican presidents, Vicente Fox and Felipe Calderon, compared the Republican front-runner to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.

Guzmán stated that once Republicans and the Democrats pick their nominees, Mexican government officials would like to meet them before the November election.

While this is by no means an indication that Mexico is unwilling to bend to the demands of the GOP frontrunner, Trump, the author of The Art of the Deal, is no stranger to changing minds at the negotiating table. Maybe it’s a bit too early to underestimate him in his border wall endeavors.
