The administration has not offered specific details on how the USMCA trade pact would fund construction of Trump’s proposed border wall.
The United States Mexico Canada Agreement, a trade deal which replaced NAFTA earlier this year, is already paying for a proposed border wall on the southern border due to immense savings the deal has created, according to President Donald Trump.
The president tweeted as much on Wednesday morning, although some experts are skeptical about whether his assertions are true or not.
“Mexico is paying (indirectly) for the Wall through the new USMCA, the replacement for NAFTA! Far more money coming to the U. S.,” Trump said in his tweet .
The president also reiterated his calls for a border wall, suggesting he could build it using funds from the military.
“Because of the tremendous dangers at the Border, including large scale criminal and drug inflow, the United States Military will build the Wall!” Trump said.
