President Trump didn’t mince words during his phone call with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto last week — declaring that his nation has “pretty tough hombres” that need to “be knocked out,” according to a report.

CNN obtained a transcript of the conversation of the talk, which happened last Friday.

“You have some pretty tough hombres in Mexico that you may need help with. We are willing to help with that big-league, but they have be knocked out and you have not done a good job knocking them out,” he said.

The AP reported that he threatened to send in troops to Mexico, but CNN’s report said Trump made no such statement, and only offered help with drug cartels.

When questioned about the details of the conversation, a White House official also insisted that Trump was not considering sending troops to Mexico.

“Reports that the president threatened to invade Mexico are false,” the official told The Post on Wednesday night.

The Mexican foreign relations department told the AP, “The negative statements you refer to did not occur during said telephone call. On the contrary, the tone was constructive.”

Mexican journalist Dolia Estevez, however, said during an interview with the local news outlet Aristegui Noticias that “it was a very offensive conversation where Trump humiliated Peña Nieto,” according to Business Insider.

“I don’t need the Mexicans, I don’t need Mexico,” Trump reportedly told the Mexican president. “We are going to build the wall and you all are going to pay for it, like it or not.”

Writing for the Mexican radio outlet Proyecto Puente, Estevez recalled how Trump flat-out told Peña Nieto that he would force Mexico to pay for his signature border wall with a tax of 10 percent on Mexican exports.

“He even complained of the bad role the [Mexican] army is playing in the fight against narco trafficking,” Estevez told Aristegui. “[Trump] suggested to [Peña Nieto] that if they are incapable of combating [narco trafficking], he may have to send troops to assume this task.”

While the call between the two leaders was meant to bridge the gap between them, Estevez said it seemed more like an attempt by the president to disparage Peña Nieto.

“I really didn’t want to go to Mexico last August,” Trump reportedly told him at one point, in reference to his visit to the Mexican capital last year.

“Before this unusual onslaught, Peña was not firm,” Estevez said. “He was stammering.”

Mexico’s foreign relations department denied Estevez’s account Wednesday, claiming it was based on “absolute falsehoods.”

“The assertions that you make about said conversation do not correspond to the reality of it,” they said in a statement. “The tone was constructive and it was agreed by the presidents to continue working and that the teams will continue to meet frequently to construct an agreement that is positive for Mexico and for the United States.”
