Decepción y molestia entre mexicanos la reunión Peña Nieto-Donald Trump

El presidente Enrique Peña Nieto sostuvo que en la conversación con el candidato Republicano a la Presidencia de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, aclaró que México no financiará la edificación de un muro fronterizo.

“Al inicio de la conversación con Donald Trump dejé claro que México no pagará por el muro”, detalló el jefe del Ejecutivo federal en su cuenta de Twitter @EPN.

En otra publicación, el mandatario señaló que el diálogo fue cortés entre ambos.

“A partir de ahí, la conversación abordó otros temas, y se desarrolló de manera respetuosa”, puntualizó en la red social.

En suelo mexicano por primera vez desde que fue nominado como candidato presidencial republicano, Donald Trump defendió el miércoles frente a Peña Nieto el derecho de Estados Unidos de construir un muro en la frontera con México.

Trump, quien ha calificado a México como fuente de violadores y criminales, describió a los mexicanos como "personas increíbles" luego de una reunión a puerta cerrada con Peña Nieto en la residencia de Los Pinos.

Frontera segura

El viaje relámpago a México, 10 semanas antes de las elecciones presidenciales en Estados Unidos, ocurrió unas horas antes de que el candidato pronuncie un esperado discurso en Arizona en torno a la inmigración no autorizada, un tema central en su campaña sobre el que recientemente ha titubeado.

Trump no repitió su promesa de obligar a México a pagar por el muro en la frontera común.

"Tener una frontera segura es un derecho soberano y de beneficio mutuo", dijo mientras leía un discurso preparado. "Reconocemos y respetamos el derecho de cualquier país a construir una barrera física o muro en cualquiera de sus fronteras para detener el movimiento ilegal de personas, drogas y armas", añadió.

Interrogado sobre si había discutido el tema con el presidente mexicano, Trump dijo que sí, pero no sobre quién lo pagaría.

Discurso de Donald Trump en inglés

TRUMP: Thank you. It is a great honor to be invited by you, Mr. President. A great, great honor, thank you.

We had a very substantive, direct and constructive exchange of ideas over quite a period of time. I was straight forward in presenting my views about the impacts of current trade and immigration policies on the United States.

As you know, I love the United States very much and we want to make sure that the people of the United States are very well protected. You equally expressed your feelings and your love for Mexico.

The United States and Mexico share a 2,000-mile border, a half a trillion dollars in annual trade and one million legal border crossings each and every day. We are united by our support for democracy, a great love for our people and the contributions of millions of Mexican Americans to the United States.

And I happen to have a tremendous feeling for Mexican Americans not only in terms of friendships, but in terms of the tremendous numbers that I employ in the United States and they are amazing people, amazing people. I have many friends, so many friends and so many friends coming to Mexico and in Mexico. I am proud to say how many people I employ.

And the United States first, second and third generation Mexicans are just beyond reproach. Spectacular, spectacular hard-working people. I have such great respect for them and their strong values of family, faith and community.

We all share a common interest in keeping our hemisphere safe, prosperous and free. No one wins in either country when human smugglers and drug traffickers prey on innocent people, when cartels commit acts of violence, when illegal weapons and cash flow from the United States into Mexico or when migrants from Central America make the dangerous trek — and it is very, very dangerous — into Mexico or the United States without legal authorization.

I shared my strong view that NAFTA has been a far greater benefit to Mexico than it has been to the United States and that it must be improved upon to make sure that workers, and so important, in both countries benefit from fair and reciprocal trade.

"I expressed that to the United States and in — that of the United States, that we must take action to stem this tremendous outflow of jobs from our country. It’s happening every day, it’s getting worse and worse and worse, and we have to stop it. Prosperity and happiness in both of our countries will increase if we work together on the following five shared goals".

TRUMP: Number one, ending illegal immigration, not just between our two countries, but including the illegal immigration and migration from Central and South Americans, and from other regions that impact security and finances, in both Mexico and the United States.

This is a humanitarian disaster. The dangerous treks, the abuse by gangs and cartels and the extreme physical dangers and it must be solved, it must be solved quickly. Not fair to the people, anywhere world wide, you can truly say, but certainly not fair to the people of Mexico and the people of the United States.

Number two, having a secure border is a sovereign right and mutually beneficial. We recognize and respect the right of either country to build a physical barrier or wall on any of its borders to stop the illegal movement of people, drugs and weapons. Cooperation toward achieving the shared objective, and it will be shared of safety for all citizens is paramount, to both the United States and to Mexico.

Number three, dismantling drug cartels and ending the movement of illegal drugs, weapons, and funds across our border. This can only be done with cooperation, intelligence and intelligence sharing and joint operations between our two countries. It’s the only way it’s going to happen. Improving NAFTA, number four. NAFTA is a 22 year old agreement that must be updated to reflect the realities of today.

There are many improvements that could be made that would make both Mexico and the United States stronger and keep industry in our hemisphere. We have tremendous competition from China and from all over the world. Keep it in our hemisphere. Workers in both of our countries need a pay raise, very desperately. In the United States, it’s been 18 years, 18 years wages are going down. Improving pay standards and working conditions will create better results for all and all workers in particular. There’s a lot of value that can be created for both countries by working beautifully together. And that I am sure will happen.

Number five, keep manufacturing wealth in our hemisphere. When jobs leave Mexico, the U.S. or Central America and go over seas, it increases poverty and pressure on social services as well as pressures on cross border migration. Tremendous pressure. The bond between our two countries is deep and sincere. And both our nations benefit from a close and honest relationship between our two governments.

A strong prosperous and vibrant Mexico is in the best interest of the United States and will keep and help keep, for a long, long period of time, America together. Both of our countries will work together for mutual good, and most importantly for the mutual good of our people. Mr. President, I want to thank you. It’s been a tremendous honor and I call you a friend. Thank you.

(UNKNOWN): Donald Trump and Mexican President Pena addressing reporters, now let’s see if they’re going to take calls. They are taking questions from reporters, let’s listen in.

TRUMP: – – President, we were actually together for quite some time. And I think, excellent, I was with, as you know, Senator Sessions and Mayor Giuliani and we had a tremendous more than an hour. I think really very good.

QUESTION: (Inaudible)

TRUMP: Say it. Yes?

QUESTION: (inaudible)

TRUMP: No, not at all. Look, we want what’s good for the United States. And the President wants what’s best for Mexico and in sitting down and in talking, we both realized that we, realized this from the beginning, that it’s good for both of us. Better for both of us actually, yes. John?

QUESTION: (inaudible)

(CROSSTALK)

TRUMP: We didn’t discuss that. We didn’t discuss who pays for the wall, we didn’t discuss.

QUESTION: (OFF-MIKE) for Mexico to take back (OFF-MIKE) very harsh words directed toward. Would you like to take back some of those and the wall is it a non-starter? Is there any chance Mexico paying (ph) the wall?

TRUMP: Well, I’ll start. I mean nothing like an easy question like that. We did discuss the wall. We didn’t discuss payment of the wall. That’ll be for a later date. This was a very preliminary meeting.

I think it was an excellent meeting and we are — I think we’re very well on our way. A lot of the things I said are very strong but we have to be strong, we have to say what’s happening.

And there is crime, as you know there’s a lot of crime and there’s a lot of problems. But I think together we’ll solve those problems. I really believe that the president and I will solve those problems.

We will get them solved. Illegal immigration is a problem for Mexico as well as for us. Drugs are a tremendous problem from Mexico as well as us. I mean it’s not a one-way street.

And we will work together and we will get those problems solved. Mr. President?

(CROSSTALK) PENA NIETO (THROUGH TRANSLATOR): Absolute respect for the election process in the United States. I wanted to invite both candidates — both candidates which was responded quite quickly by Mr. Trump.

So meaning besides the issues that we just recently discussed, we also talked about the — how relevant is the relationship among our countries, how important it is to have strategic alliance in between our countries.

I also asked and showed Mr. Trump the great responsibility that I have to defend the Mexican population, both to Mexicans who are here and outside of Mexico. That there has been a misinterpretation or assertions that regrettably had hurt and has affected Mexicans and it’s perception of his candidacy of which I am fully respectful.

Mexican people have felt hurt by the comments that have been made. But I am sure that his genuine interest is to build a relationship that will give both of our society’s better welfare.

That the willingness expressed of the Mexican presidency to get together with both candidates — both candidates of the United States based on that same premise to work together.

But above all in a mutual respect among nations. This is what I have shared with candidate Trump.

(UNKNOWN): This concludes this event and we thank all of you for your attendance.
