Report: Trump may meet Mexican president -- in Mexico City
By Harper Neidig and Rafael Bernal
Donald Trump is considering taking a last-minute trip to Mexico Wednesday to meet with the country’s president -- house ahead of a high-profile immigration speech the candidate is scheduled to give, according to the Washington Post.
Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto invited the mogul to visit him and discuss campaign issues, unidentified sources told the Post. Trump reportedly accepted the offer, which was facilitated by his campaign’s CEO Steve Bannon.
Within an hour of the news breaking, Mexico's Reforma newspaper reported that Peña's office denied a meeting would take place on Wednesday, but confirmed the leaders are in talks to set something up.
CNN en Espanol received a statement from Peña's office, saying that he "sent invitations to both candidates which were well received by both of the teams' campaigns" but noted that no meetings have been confirmed yet.
