President Trump took to Twitter to slam Mexico over his border wall proposal while top advisor Jared Kushner was meeting with Mexican officials about a potential state visit, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday.

Trump's tweet abruptly ended Kushner's negotiations in the White House, the report said. Kushner is Trump's son-in-law and a White House senior advisor.

"The U.S. has a 60 billion dollar trade deficit with Mexico. It has been a one-sided deal from the beginning of NAFTA with massive numbers ... of jobs and companies lost. If Mexico is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting," Trump said in a pair of tweets on Jan. 26.

The two leaders have still not met one another since Trump won the 2016 election.

Shortly after the tweet, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto cancelled a planned visit to the U.S."This morning we have informed the White House that I will not attend the meeting scheduled for next Tuesday with the POTUS," Peña Nieto tweeted.
