The visit is Trump's first overseas as his party's nominee. CAMPAIGN 2016-TRUMP-PENA NIETO UPDATE: Mexico's president disputes Trump's border assessment Mexican Enrique Pea Nieto is challenging Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's characterization of the situation on the U.S.-Mexican border. Pea Nieto notes that the number of immigrants crossing the border illegally is down significantly "even to the point of being negative to a net effect." He spoke at a joint appearance Wednesday at the president's official residence. While Pea Nieto says the countries have shared challenges, he says that there exists "an incomplete vision of the border issues," with weapons and cash flowing south from the U.S. and fueling violence. He's also stressing U.S. exports to Mexico and the number of jobs reliant on the countries' trade relationship. He says the Mexican people are people of "good will" who "deserve everybody's respect."
