WH denies report that Trump threatened Mexican president over 'bad hombres'

The U.S. and Mexico are denying reports that President Donald Trump told his Mexican counterpart Enrique Peña Nieto that U.S. forces will handle the "bad hombres down there" if the Mexican authorities don't.

The Associated Press reported the story, citing an excerpt from a transcript of a Friday call. A similar account, citing sources in both countries, was also reported by D.C.-based journalist Dolia Estevez. 

"Reports that the President threatened to invade Mexico are false. Even the Mexican government is disputing these reports," a White House official said. 

The excerpt obtained by AP does not specifically identify who Trump meant by "bad hombres" or mention the response of the Mexican leader.

"You have a bunch of bad hombres down there," Trump told Peña Nieto, according to the report. "You aren't doing enough to stop them. I think your military is scared. Our military isn't, so I just might send them down to take care of it."

The Mexican government maintained that the conversation between the two leaders was "constructive" and pushed back on reports that Trump humiliated Peña Nieto.

"The assertions that you make about said conversation do not correspond to the reality of it," Mexico's foreign relations department said in a statement, as reported by AP.

"The tone was constructive and it was agreed by the presidents to continue working and that the teams will continue to meet frequently to construct an agreement that is positive for Mexico and for the United States."

Trump has previously pledged to push back on drug violence on the U.S.-Mexico border, and promised to deport "bad hombres" and "drug lords."

"We are going to get them out, secure the border, and once the border is secure, at a later date, we will make a determination as to the rest. But we have some bad hombres here, and we are going to get them out," he said in October.

Both countries are in a delicate state of diplomatic relations as Trump continues to promise that Mexico will pay for his signature wall on the U.S. border. Peña Nieto canceled a planned meeting with Trump last week after he signed an executive action directing the wall project to get underway.

Peña Neto has repeatedly pledged that Mexico "will not pay for any wall."

KUDOS !  to NewsHound  BJinM !

This is one of the "leaks" they believe is being fed to the lefty loons by a mole in the State Department

Hope they ferret out the dirty traitorous rat quick & really stick it to him whoever it is !

I agree ladies - same to whomever gave advance warning of Seal Team 6's impending strike - only that SoB ... should be put in front of a firing squad for treason.

  If the enemy knows you're coming - and is waiting with heavy artillery for your arrival, then that kind of defeats the purpose of having the raid in the first place. Very sorry state of affairs and my prayers go out to the family of the fallen.

DITTO, JBinM....

And by virtue of that same argument, KILLary klinton herself should ultimately face a firing squad of her own....

BTW --- seeing that pic here of waxy Trump and little Ricky the MexiPres reminds us ---

there's a petition being floated around by one of gorged soros' lefty-loon orgs trying to get the

Disney people to make sure their wax Trump doesn't get a voice.

 

Seems the Disney Presidents all have a little thing they say, but these lefty lunatics claim to have over

10,000 signatures already stating that Trump should not have a voice because of his "hate speech"

about LGBTQWXYZ and women....

 

Doesn't gorged soros own alotta Disney.....  things that make ya go "hmmnnn..."

Seems he once again is using his little indoctrinated army of zombies to do his dirty work .....

Wonder how much he's paying them THIS TIME....

Once again another false narrative from the guardian.   These clowns are desperate, they'll do, say, and print whatever is indoctrinating to the mind.  Really poster, really!!!  This is false to the core, like all the others.  Do your homework before you post it, because if not someone will counter with the truth as always.    Just want to keep it real.

This is BS again, move along!!!!
