Mexico will “never” pay for a wall that separates its border from the United States, Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto said Tuesday.
The North American country won’t ever finance such a project, Nieto said in a tweet addressed to President Donald Trump.
Speaking at a rally on Tuesday, the U.S. leader had said the neighboring nation would eventually foot the bill for a border wall that he claims will stymie illegal immigration into the U.S.
It’s not the first time Nieto has denied the idea.
In 2016, he penned a similar tweet and earlier this year, he postponed plans to visit the White House after an argument with Washington over the matter.
