Trump's approval rating in Mexico, according to a June poll, was 2 percent.....

I can not imagine, Trumps popularity has risen too much since june (in Mexico).

What is Mexico's president thinking?

Peña Nieto is taking 'an enormous political risk' meeting with Trump, Mexico's former president says.

Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto’s standing in the polls has sunk to record lows, and a new plagiarism scandal isn’t helping. So maybe meeting with a guy even less popular than he is could bring the Mexican public back to his side?

That’s one theory being considered Wednesday as Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump — a man who once called America’s third-largest trading partner an “enemy” — prepares to visit Mexico City later in the day. Trump's approval rating in Mexico, according to a June poll, was 2 percent. Peña Nieto is hovering around 23 percent, other surveys show.

Sounds like President Pena Nieto is trying to change the conversation about him in Mexico. Trump's holding a press conference in Arizona afterward. Whatever President Pena Nieto says, it's going to have to be strong enough to stand against Trump's version or, likely, various versions.
