Trump Heads to Mexico, but Someone’s Lying About That Border Wall
Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto disputed remarks made by Republican candidate for president Donald Trump regarding the construction of a wall along the U.S-Mexico border.
Having Mexico pay for the construction of a wall along the border has been a key theme of Mr. Trump’s campaign, since his announcement last year. His campaign website features a detailed plan titled “compelling Mexico to pay for the wall.”
When asked if he discussed his plans with the Mexican president in their meeting today, Mr. Trump said the topic was not broached.
“Who pays for the wall? We didn’t discuss,” Trump said when asked by a reporter during the follow-up questions to their statements. “We did discuss the wall. We didn’t discuss payment of the wall. That’ll be for a later date.”
President Peña Nieto has disputed that account of their meeting. According to Peña Nieto, he flat out told Mr. Trump Mexico will not pay for a wall at the very beginning of their meeting.
Al inicio de la conversación con Donald Trump dejé claro que México no pagará por el muro.

“At the beginning of meeting with Donald Trump, I made it clear Mexico will not pay for the wall.”
One of these two men seems to be lying. (For more from the author of “Trump Heads to Mexico, but Someone’s Lying About That Border Wall” please click HERE)
