Peru president: 'We will cut off US ties if Trump wins'
22 June 2016 at 6:15am

Peru's president-elect said on Tuesday that his government would sever ties with the US if Donald Trump wins the US presidential election.

Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, a 77-year-old former investment banker, said amid laughter "we're going to grab a saw and cut them [relations] off".

Mr Kuczynski explained that the topic came up during a congratulatory phone call with US President Barack Obama.

Presumptive Republican nominee in the race to succeed Obama, Trump has sparked criticism across Latin America for his anti-immigrant rhetoric, especially in Mexico where President Enrique Pena Nieto has compared his campaign to the rise of Adolf Hitler.

1. Great sense of humor.

2. President Enrique Pena Nieto should shut up while they are shooting teachers in the streets of Mex.

Mexico, with police slaughtering people, is starting to look more like Hitler than the USA.
