In a rather stunning development, candidate Donald Trump announces he will visit with Mexico’s president Peña Nieto.
(Via Lifezette) […] Sources, that include Mexican officials involved in the planning of the visit, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, stated the meeting would cover a broad variety of topics ranging from trade to security to immigration and the contentious issue of border enforcement.

Mexico’s president confirms the visit as a “private meeting”:
El Señor @realDonaldTrump ha aceptado esta invitación y se reunirá mañana en privado con el Presidente @EPN.
