Hillary Clinton’s campaign dismissed Donald Trump’s announcement late Tuesday evening that he would meet personally with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, and characterized the last-minute trip to Mexico City as a distraction.

“From the first days of his campaign, Donald Trump has painted Mexicans as ‘rapists’ and criminals and has promised to deport 16 million people, including children and U.S. citizens,” Hillary for America Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri said in a statement.
