Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto announced Thursday that he has canceled his scheduled meeting with President Donald Trump:
Trump, for his part, took to Twitter on Thursday morning to say: "If Mexico is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting." He has also pledged to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, which has linked the U.S., Mexico, and Canada in trade since 1994.
