Only 5-percent of Mexicans have positive view of Trump

The survey by polling firm Buendia & Laredo for newspaper El Universal showed that 74 percent of respondents had a negative opinion of Trump, a Republican. Only 5 percent had a positive view of him.

Trump, who launched a string of verbal attacks on Mexico during the campaign, has vowed to build a wall along the U.S. southern border, carry out mass deportations of illegal immigrants and has threatened to ditch a trade agreement with Mexico and Canada.

President Enrique Pena Nieto sparked widespread anger by inviting Trump to Mexico City for talks at the end of August.
