Leaked Transcripts Show Trump Begging the Mexican President to Be Cool About the Wall

On Thursday, The Washington Post released full, unedited White House transcripts of a phone call made between President Donald Trump and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, as well as one with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.
