EVERETT, Washington (AP) — Donald Trump will be taking his first foreign trip as the Republican presidential nominee on Wednesday, making a quick and unexpected visit to Mexico, a nation he derided as the home of rapists and criminals as he launched his campaign.
The meeting with President Enrique Pena Nieto, who earlier this year compared the billionaire candidate to Hitler, comes hours before Trump is set to deliver a highly-anticipated immigration speech. It's a defining issue for Trump, but one on which he has appeared to waiver.
Following the Brexit vote, the race to succeed London as Europe's financial capital is on. "We know that groups based in the City are planning to leave for Dublin, Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Paris," the French prime minister, Manuel Valls, told journalists soon after the UK's referendum. Other countries in the European Union are also intent on stealing financial services jobs from the UK. Even the economy minister of Bulgaria, the EU's poorest country, invited City of London escapees. In reality, however, London will remain Europe's main financial centre.
