MEXICO CITY — President Donald Trump is predicting a positive relationship with Mexican President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
Trump says he “had a lot of good conversation” with the leftist leader Monday for about 30 minutes, a day after Lopez Obrador’s victory.
“I think the relationship will be a very good one,” Trump says.
Speaking during a meeting with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, Trump says he and Lopez Obrador discussed border security and trade. “We talked about trade, we talked about NAFTA, we talked about a separate deal, just Mexico and the United States.”
Trump said this weekend that he was delaying efforts to renegotiate NAFTA until after the November midterm elections.
