Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto reiterated Sunday that he is ready to work with whoever the next U.S. president is, but said Mexico will not be paying for a border wall.
“There is no way to have Mexico pay,” Peña Nieto told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria in an interview that aired Sunday. “There is no way that Mexico can pay [for] a wall like that.”Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump has called for the construction of a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico as a way to stop illegal immigration.
Peña Nieto also criticized Trump’s comments about Mexicans, saying he “cannot agree with such a generalization for Mexicans” being rapists, drug dealers and criminals.
He put further distance between himself and the GOP candidate while discussing trade deals.
