Mexican President Compares Trump's Rhetoric to Hitler
-----------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Mexican President Enrique Peņa Nieto has refused to pay for
the wall Donald Trump has vowed to build between the United States and
Mexico. Peņa Nieto criticized Trump, invoking the fascist leaders Adolf
Hitler and Benito Mussolini.

President Enrique Peņa Nieto: "And there have been episodes in human
history, unfortunately, where these expressions of this strident
rhetoric have only led to very ominous situations in the history of
humanity. That's how Mussolini got in. That's how Hitler got in. They
took advantage of a situation, a problem perhaps, which humanity was
going through at the time, after an economic crisis. And I think what
(they) put forward ended up, at what we know today from history, in
global conflagration."
