U. S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday that Mexico is paying for a border wall through trade and he did not mention the subject on a call with his Mexican counterpart, as he focuses on getting the U. S. Congress to fund the project.
One of Trump’s key campaign promises was to build the border wall he said will slow the flow of illegal immigration, and he has long pledged that Mexico – not U. S. taxpayers – would fund it.
In a Twitter post early on Thursday, Trump wrote that he had found a way to meet that promise.
Savings for the United States as a result of the renegotiated trade deal between the United States, Mexico and Canada would pay for the wall, he said.
