Mexico walled in, says Donald
PRESIDENT TRUMP just can’t get over his wall.
Pressed Monday on his claims that he’ll shut down the government if he doesn’t getting funding for a border wall, the President maintained Mexico will pay for the estimated $20 billion structure.
“One way or another, Mexico is going to pay for the wall. It may be through reimbursement, but one way or another Mexico will pay for the wall,” he said at a White House news conference.
Trump went on to say that “tremendous drugs” were coming into the country over the Rio Grande, and that it is “imperative” to have a wall to stop the traffic.
Mexico has repeatedly said that it will not pay for the wall, and repeated those assurances after a Trump tweet this weekend by saying the idea was a no-go “under any circumstances.”
