主流媒体都给spin成什么样子了。
Peña Nieto said in translation. "Mexicans felt offended at what has
been said, but I am quite certain his desire is to build a relationship that
will improve our mutual well-being."
Peña Nieto found common ground with the GOP nominee on issues with the
current unsecured border between the two countries and outdated trade
policies — two of Trump's marquee issues in the 2016 contest.
"One has to take into account the flow of cash and illegal weapons into
Mexico from the United States which benefits the cartels," Peña Nieto
said. "This flow has to come to an end."
Peña Nieto also noted the reality of "non-Mexicans" — Central
Americans, South Americans, and even those from the Middle East — who cross
through Mexico on their way to the United States and pose a security threat
to both countries "needs to be addressed."
"We need to have an overall focus on the border that deals with undocumented
immigrants, the flow of drugs, weapons, and cash all at the same time,"
said Peña Nieto.
Trump said the two countries had a "shared objective of safety and
prosperity" in stopping the "flow of drugs and illegal weapons."
Trump, in explicitly recognizing the real problems that impact Americans —
and Mexicans — every day and pledging to address them properly, provided a
stark contrast to his opponent. Indeed, the only candidate painting a false
picture of the border is Clinton, a sterile picture of hard-working families
crossing the border that conveniently ignores the drugs, the cartel
violence, the coyotes — and their rapes, robberies, and murders along the
way.
Clinton would have Americans believe that in railing against the dangerous
consequences of an insecure U.S.-Mexico border, Trump is conjuring a dark,
false mirage that implicitly rejects American excellence.
While Peña Nieto defended the benefits NAFTA has brought to Mexico, he
nevertheless admitted the agreement could be "improved to the benefit of
both parties" — a sentiment Trump echoed.
"NAFTA is a 22-year-old agreement that must be updated to reflect the
realities of today," Trump said. Doing so will make both countries "stronger
and keep industry in our hemisphere," he continued.
"We have tremendous competition from China and from all over the world. Keep
it in our hemisphere," Trump said. Peña Nieto and Trump clearly
recognize that continued globalization in its current form would be equally
as bad for Mexico as it would the United States. Asian countries like China
and Vietnam threaten the Mexican labor market as much as that of the United
States.
While the mainstream media will be sure to grasp at ways to undermine the
positive nature of the meeting with Peña Nieto, it will be hard to deny
the substantive, serious, and mutually respectful press conference given by
the two leaders was a massive political coup for Donald Trump. |
