Peña Nieto Hosts Donald Trump at Los Pinos

In a surprise announcement, Peña Nieto invited then-candidate Donald Trump — who had called Mexican immigrants rapists — for a meeting at Los Pinos. Trump used the opportunity to appear presidential; Peña Nieto failed to publicly confront Trump about his promised border wall. The meeting was widely criticized domestically as humiliating for Mexico. Finance Secretary Videgaray, the architect of the visit, briefly lost his post before returning as Foreign Minister.
