Sounds like the Mexican President capitulated to the Orange King; what an indelible wimp.
Sorry, but the difference between the statements doesn’t sound very important.
And the headline is terrible!
TLDR; the Mexican statement included the line “The presidents also agreed at this point not to speak publicly about this controversial issue,” while the W.H. statement didn’t.
Remember he’s the bestest communicator. There will be so much excellent communication going on over the next four year you won’t know what will happen next.
It could have been better. Something like:
US, Mexico Statements Differ On Public Statements About Border Wall Statements in their Statements.
But in what appears to be another snafu among many during the first week of the new Trump administration,
There have been no so-called “snafus.” It’s called “alternative competence.”
Off topic but… The March for life is circulating a photo from President Obama’s 2009 inaugural claiming it is the crowd from today.
Here is the actual photo
Here is the one they are sending out
He is not to be trusted President Nierto!
Not so much: Nieto’s video statement in Spanish was very unequivocal about not paying for anything.
Neither man can be seen to “back down”. Their respective supporters won’t stand for it.
So we’ll probably get a half-assed wall with the US paying for it and then Trump claiming we got reimbursed through some back-channel route, giving both sides a squishy victory.
I’m sorry, NaziFrog agreed not to talk about the wall publicly?
I have learned not to put too much stock into the headlines here and elsewhere. It’s difficult to summarize a long article in 10 words or less. Read the article first, it often differs from the headline. (Not to imply that you didn’t read it, just don’t be taken in by a flashy intro.)
Given a choice between believing that man and another person, I will always believe the other person.
“alternative competence”. Nice one. I just may have to borrow that.
Alt Trump: I made a deal with him. I will pay him $50 billion of US tax payers money and he can give it back to me as Trump Wall payment and keep $1Billion for himself for his silence. It costs me nothing and I get Trump Wall. I win.
“No, Mr. President Trump, sir, there’s no problem with getting rid of all the senior foreign service diplomats who know anything about diplomatic protocol. If you want to do it, it must be good. It will be fine.”
and who to believe??? My money is on Mexico. Don the pathological liar is at it again.
In diplomatic circles, differences like that are like a screaming tantrum to normal people.
Pass the sweet and sour shrimp.
