moneymorning.com/2016/02/25/china-warns-u-s-after-trump-wins-nevada/China Warns U.S. After Trump Wins NevadaChina warned the United States on Wednesday not to adopt punitive currency policies that could disrupt U.S.-China relations. The Red Dragon's cautionary advice came after GOP favorite Donald Trump won Nevada's caucus with a landslide 45.9% of the vote and 14 of its 30 delegates. In a statement made overnight, China's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told reporters in Beijing that "we are following with interest the U.S. presidential election." Hua was asked about China's response to a potential Trump presidency and his plan to impose 45% tariffs on imported Chinese goods.

He also rejected Donald Trump’s claim that Mexico would pay for a wall spanning the U.S.-Mexico border should he become president. “I’m not going to pay for that f------ wall,” Fox said in an interview with Fusion. “He should pay for it. He’s got the money.” Fox claimed that he was “not at all” worried about Trump winning the presidency, but expressed alarm that Hispanics were showing support for “a false prophet.” Hispanic voters in the U.S. should vote instead “to defend this very same nation that is holding you,” Fox said. "This nation is going to fail if it goes into the hands of a crazy guy. What is Trump? He’s not a Republican. Absolutely not,” Fox said. “He’s not a Democrat. He’s just himself. He’s ego-centric.”

www.cnn.com/2016/02/25/politics/joe-biden-mexico-campaign-rhetoric-donald-trump/Biden in Mexico: 'I almost feel obliged to apologize' for GOP rhetoric(CNN)—Speaking in Mexico City, Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday came close to offering an apology for comments made by Republicans about Mexico and Mexican immigrants on the campaign trail. "I almost feel obliged to apologize for some of what my political colleagues said," Biden said alongside Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto. "It's a heated campaign season and I just want you to know, Mr. President, that the most heated rhetoric you've heard from competitors for the nomination for president is not who we are as the American people. It is not the view that is the view of the majority of the American people. It's the exact opposite. It's the opposite view." Earlier on Thursday, Biden, who was in Mexico for economic talks, called the rhetoric "disturbing."
