Trump’s Mexico visit was great for Trump, but backfired onPresident Peña Nieto

Last week, Donald Trump made a surprise visit to Mexico to meet with President Enrique Peña Nieto. Jesus Velasco and Cody Holmes write that while both Trump and Peña Nieto are experiencing tough times politically, Trump was able to use the meeting to appear presidential, while the Mexican president only looked defenseless and indulgent. They comment that Peña Nieto’s cluelessness at handling this year’s US election highlights that Mexico has lacked a consistent and coherent foreign policy towards the US in recent years.
