Donald Trump Blows Up the U.S.-Mexico Relationship

Since Ronald Reagan was first elected, in 1980, every new American President has met with his Mexican counterpart shortly after winning the White House. Reagan travelled to Mexico before his swearing in and welcomed Mexican President José López Portillo to Washington later that year. George H. W. Bush met with Carlos Salinas de Gortari, in Houston, in November, 1988, before either man was sworn in as President. Bill Clinton met with President Salinas, in Austin, before Clinton’s Inauguration. George W. Bush, who already had a relationship with President Vicente Fox, made Mexico his first foreign destination as President. Obama met with President Felipe Calderón, in Washington, shortly before his swearing in. http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/donald-trump-blows-up-the-u-s-mexico-relationship?mbid=nl_TNY%20Template%20-%20With%20Photo%20(126)&CNDID=20587049&spMailingID=10316090&spUserID=MTMzMTc5NzQxNDk2S0&spJobID=1082264973&spReportId=MTA4MjI2NDk3MwS2
