Pena Nieto extended invitations to both candidates last month and Trump flew to Mexico City last Wednesday for a meeting that appeared to be friendly but later revealed deep tensions.

U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said she will not accept an invitation from Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto for a visit after rival Donald Trump created what she called a diplomatic incident in his sudden visit there.

We understand and respect her decision to propose the time to hold a meeting, said Mexican Foreign Minister Claudia Ruiz Massieu in a tweet, adding that contact with Clinton's campaign was ongoing.

Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, has been highly critical of Mexico, saying the country sends rapists and drug dealers to the United States. He has called for a wall to be built on the border that would be paid for by Mexico.

Trump said at a joint news conference with Pena Nieto that they did not discuss who would pay for the wall. Pena Nieto remained silent on the issue at the event, but said later on Twitter that he made it clear Mexico would not pay for the wall.
