Mexico has said, it will not pay for US President Donald Trump’s border wall. In a message to the nation, President Enrique Pena Nieto said, Mexico does not believe in walls and will decide the next steps on the basis of the report by functionaries in Washington and advice from the chamber of commerce and Governors.
Mr Nieto said, as President, he assumes the complete responsibility to defend the interests of Mexico and its people. He said, his country offers its willingness to reach agreements that will be in favour of both nations. However, the President made no mention of cancelling or postponing a trip to Washington on the 31st of this month to meet the new US President.
President Trump has signed an executive order for a wall to be built along the southern border with Mexico and insisted that they will reimburse US for it.
