U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto give a press conference in Mexico City in August. Henry Romero-Reuters by [Zeke Miller](https://time.com/author/zeke-j-miller/) ## Zeke Miller Jan 21, 2017 11:51 PM UTC President Donald Trump will hold his first with a foreign leader as president on Friday when he hosts British Prime Minister Theresa May. Trump also placed his first calls to the leaders of Canada and Mexico Saturday, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer told reporters Saturday evening. He spoke with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President [Enrique Peña Nieto](http://time.com/4475102/donald-trump-enrique-pena-nieto-transcript/). Trump had said earlier Saturday while [visiting the Central Intelligence Agency](http://time.com/4642306/trump-inauguration-cia/) that the meeting with May would happen “very shortly.” Spicer also announced that Peña Nieto would visit the White House on Jan. 31. The symbolic moves hew to tradition, reinforcing the “special relationship” between the U.S. and Britain, as well as the strength of the North American alliances. The May meeting comes at a critical time for Britain, as it seeks to navigate its way out of the European Union after last year’s “Brexit” vote, which was [cheered on by the then-presidential candidate Trump](http://time.com/4635720/donald-trump-interview-nato-russia-sanctions-brexit/). Trump previously met with Peña Nieto in August on a whirlwind trip to Mexico City, where the Mexican leader stated after that he had informed Trump that Mexico would not compensate the U.S. for the construction of Trump’s promised border wall. In recent weeks Trump has pledged to move forward with construction of the wall with taxpayer dollars, while he negotiates an agreement to tax or bill Mexico for its construction. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4642507/donald-trump-foreign-leaders-president/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4642507/donald-trump-foreign-leaders-president/"},"headline":"Donald Trump to Hold First Foreign Leader Meetings as President","datePublished":"2017-01-21T23:51:31.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T02:51:41.471Z","description":"President Donald Trump will hold his first with a foreign leader as president on Friday when he hosts British Prime Minister Theresa May.","url":"https://time.com/4642507/donald-trump-foreign-leaders-president/","keywords":["Foreign Policy","Britain","White House","Enrique Pena Nieto","Canada","Mexico","Donald Trump","Great Britain","Justin Trudeau","Brexit"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt49bf5dd58c2d4dbc/6988add1a988ca8fd86ba182/161109_inv_economistsfear.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Zeke Miller","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/zeke-j-miller/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt49bf5dd58c2d4dbc/6988add1a988ca8fd86ba182/161109_inv_economistsfear.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"161109_INV_EconomistsFear","caption":"U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto give a press conference at the Los Pinos residence in Mexico City, Mexico, August 31, 2016.","creditText":"Henry Romero-Reuters","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/foreign-policy/","name":"Foreign Policy"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4642507/donald-trump-foreign-leaders-president/","name":"Donald Trump to Hold First Foreign Leader Meetings as President"}}]}] ```
