Mexico President Enrique Peña Nieto says he's informed the White House he has canceled a trip to Washington to meet with President Donald Trump amid tension over a border wall.
Trump had tweeted Thursday morning that if Mexico is unwilling to pay for a wall along the U.S. border, "then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting."
The developments come the day after Trump said he will jump-start construction of a U.S.-Mexico border wall and cut federal grants for immigrant-protecting "sanctuary cities."

In a separate tweet Thursday morning, Trump said NAFTA "has been a one-sided deal" with jobs and companies suffering as a result.
Trump has said he wants to renegotiate the NAFTA trade deal with Mexico and Canada. He said Thursday the deal has resulted in "massive numbers of jobs and companies lost."
