\nMexican President Enrique Pe\u00f1a Nieto has spoken out for the first time against Donald Trump, saying that the Republican front runner\u2019s rhetoric is damaging the relationship between the United States and Mexico.
\nTrump, who has consistently used Mexico as a punching bag on the stump and promised to build a border wall that the U.S.\u2019s southern neighbor will pay for, has incurred the wrath of two former Mexican presidents, but Pe\u00f1a Nieto\u2019s remarks to El Universal Monday represent the first time the country\u2019s current head of state has publicly spoken about the billionaire candidate.
\n“I am with those who regret and condemn this kind of [discriminatory] statements by Republican hopeful Donald Trump, they hurt the relationship with the U.S.,” Pe\u00f1a Nieto told El Universal<\/span><\/a>.
\nWhile Pe\u00f1a Nieto added that he is not worried about Trump actually winning the presidential election in November, he did say that his administration will “seek the path of mutual respect, constructive dialogue and bridges that allow us to really build a better relationship” with whoever gets elected.
\nLast month, former Mexican President Vicente Fox was not as guarded with his words when speaking about Trump and his proposed border wall.
\n“I\u2019m not going to pay for that f***ing wall!” Fox told Jorge Ramos in an interview for Fusion<\/span><\/a>. “He should pay for it. He\u2019s got the money.”
\nThe former Mexican president, who led the country from 2000 to 2006, also questioned Trump\u2019s allegiance to the Republican party, or, for that matter, any political party.
\n“He\u2019s not a Republican. Absolutely not,” Fox said. “Those are not Republican principles. He is not a Democrat. He is just himself. He is egocentric.”
\nThe comments from Fox echoed those of his successor, Felipe Calder\u00f3n, a few days before.
