EPN says he will not get involved in U.S. electoral process

Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto says that he will not get involved in the American electoral process but he's looking forward to a "frank, open dialogue" with whoever is elected.

Peña Nieto joined President Barack Obama at the White House for a press conference Friday. The two leaders outlined their commitment to strong bilateral relations between the two nations.

Peña Nieto avoided questions about Donald Trump's vow to build a wall between the two countries and make Mexico pay for it. He has previously said that Mexico will not pay for the wall should Trump become president.

In the meantime, Obama dismissed any perceptions that the country is on the "verge of collapse."

Obama was responding to questions Friday about whether he watched the Republican National Convention, something he said he was too busy to do.

But the president responded to a litany of statistics that Trump laid out at the convention and pointed out that illegal immigration and violence are less of a problem today than they were 20 or 30 years ago.
