Mexican Presidant Enrique Peña Nieto is still all butt hurt over President Trump’s intention to build a border wall and force Mexico to pay for it, so he canceled next Tuesday’s scheduled meeting with President Trump, a thumbing of the nose that is costing him and the people of Mexico dearly, as the Mexican peso immediately nosedived against the US dollar following Nieto’s announcement.

Nieto has consistently insisted that Mexico is not paying for the wall. Mexico is paying for the wall already, they just don’t know it yet.

The peso was down by 1.2% at 21.3175 per dollar as of 11:57 a.m. ET (January 26, 2017), according to Business Insider.

The currency had been up by as much as 0.8% at 20.9358 per dollar at about 8:50 a.m. ET.

“This morning we have informed the White House that I will not attend the meeting scheduled for next Tuesday with the @POTUS,” Peña Nieto tweeted, according to an online translation.

That followed a tweet sent earlier on Thursday morning from Trump’s personal Twitter account that said: “The U.S. has a 60 billion dollar trade deficit with Mexico. It has been a one-sided deal from the beginning of NAFTA with massive numbers of jobs and companies lost. If Mexico is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting.”

Peña Nieto was initially scheduled to meet with Trump next Tuesday in what would have been the duo’s first bilateral meeting since the new US administration took office.

Mexican opposition figures had urged Peña Nieto to cancel the meeting to protest Trump’s demand that Mexico pay for a wall on its border with the US, according to reports on Wednesday. In a recorded address that was nationally televised, Peña Nieto said, “I regret and reject the decision of the US to build the wall.”

Trump told ABC News anchor David Muir in an interview broadcast Wednesday night that he wanted construction on the wall to begin as soon as possible. When Muir asked whether that meant construction would start within months, Trump said, “I would say in months, yeah.”
