Mexico denies president called Trump to compliment immigration policy
Not the only phone lie that Trump has peddled in the past few days. The Boy Scouts are also denying Trump’s claim that their leader told the president his politically charged speech at their national jamboree was “the greatest” the organization ever heard.

Mexico is denying that its president recently called President Trump to compliment the White House's immigration policy, saying Enrique Peña Nieto has not contacted Trump in weeks. Trump earlier this week implied that Mexico's president had praised the White House in a call for policies that lowered levels of illegal immigration on Mexico's southern border. “Even the president of Mexico called me," Trump said at a Cabinet meeting. "They said their southern border, very few people are coming because they know they’re not going to get through our border, which is the ultimate compliment.” Mexico's government fired back at the White House on Wednesday, saying that the leaders' last contact was at the Group of 20 (G-20) summit last month. Peña Nieto “has not had any recent telephone communication with President Donald Trump," Mexico's Foreign Ministry said in a statement reported by The Associated Press. According to the AP, Peña Nieto and Trump last spoke about immigration during their meeting at the G-20 summit.
