Mexican leftist leader heads to US to challenge Trump

Mexican leftist 2018 presidential hopeful Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador plans to visit the United States on Sunday to talk with migrants and Americans about US President Donald Trump's "poisonous" rhetoric.
Lopez Obrador, who is leading in opinion polls for next year's elections, told the daily El Universal in an interview published on Thursday that Trump has shown a lack of respect for Mexico. "This campaign - because it is very poisonous - of xenophobia, of causing hate, must be confronted," said the two-time presidential election runner-up.
