Trump, the Republican nominee, made a trip to Mexico last week to meet with Peña Nieto, setting the stage for his big speech later in the day on immigration policy.

Since the meeting, Trump has clashed with Peña Nieto over whether Mexico will pay for Trump's proposed wall along the southern border.

Peña Nieto maintains he told Trump Mexico will not for pay the wall. During their press conference, Trump said they did not discuss paying for the wall.

Clinton, a former secretary of State under President Obama, told ABC News in the interview airing Tuesday that the conflict illustrates how Trump would struggle with diplomacy as president.

“He came out saying one thing and the Mexican president contradicted him almost immediately,” Clinton said, according to Reuters. "He didn’t raise [the border wall], so he did choke.

“He didn’t even know how to communicate effectively with a head of state. And I think that’s a pretty clear outcome from that trip.”
