 President Donald Trump said Monday he has had a 30-minute phone call with the newly-elected leader of Mexico, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, discussing trade, border security, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the possibility of a Mexico-U.S. trade deal.

"I think the relationship will be a very good one. We'll see what happens," President Trump told reporters in the Oval Office about the call earlier Monday with Mexico's president-elect, adding that the election was "better than anticipated."

Lopez Obrador, meanwhile, said in an interview Monday he would speak with President Trump to try to "reach an understanding" on Trump's proposed border wall and other issues deeply dividing the two countries.

So far, if one actually looks at what has happened between the two leaders, no sparks. AMLO won't be sworn in until November 1, so, quite a few months from now still.
