President Trump pressed Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto to soften his public opposition to paying for his proposed border wall and tell the press that the countries would "work it out" — and threatened to cut off communications with Mexico if his demands weren't met, according to newly published transcripts.

"If you are going to say that Mexico is not going to pay for the wall, then I do not want to meet with you guys anymore because I cannot live with that," Trump said in a January call, according to the Washington Post.

Peña Nieto retorted that Mexico would not pay for the wall: "My position has been and will continue to be very firm saying that Mexico cannot pay for that wall."

"But you cannot say that to the press," Trump replied. "The press is going to go with that and I cannot live with that. You cannot say that to the press because I cannot negotiate under those circumstances."

The back-and-forth was revealed in a transcript obtained and published Thursday by The Post.

Trump also called his promise that Mexico would pay for his proposed border wall a "political bind" for both presidents.

"I have been talking about it for a two-year period, and the reason I say they are going to pay for the wall is because Mexico has made a fortune out of the stupidity of U.S. trade representatives," Trump said.

Trump also calls their discussion of the wall the "least important thing we are talking about," but says that it may matter the most "politically" and "psychologically."

Here are some other notable moments in the call:

1. "Mr. President" vs. "Enrique"

While Trump repeatedly uses the Mexican leader's first name throughout the conversation, Pena Nieto keeps it formal and calls Trump "President Trump" and "Mr. President."

2. "You have some pretty tough hombres in Mexico that you may need help with, and we are willing to help you with that big-league. But they have to be knocked out and you have not done a good job of knocking them out."

This excerpt, which made headlines back in February when part of the transcript was obtained by the press, wouldn't be the first time that Trump made reference to handling "hombres" Back in October, during his final debate with Hillary Clinton, then-candidate Trump said he would deport these "bad hombres."

"We have some bad hombres here and we're going to get them out," he said then.

2. "I won New Hampshire because New Hampshire is a drug-infested den."

As he has done in the past, Trump seemed to feel the need to tout his victories, including winning New Hampshire. Notably, he won the state's Republican primary, but lost the state in the general election to his opponent Hillary Clinton.

Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire demanded an apology after the transcript was published: "@RealDonaldTrump owes NH an apology & then should follow through on his promise to Granite Staters to help end this crisis. It's completely unacceptable for the President to be talking about NH in this way — a gross misrepresentation of NH & the epidemic."

The president also mentions his rally crowds during the 2016 campaign ("every group of 50,000 people or 25,000 people"), though he seems to exaggerate their size.
