Mexico's foreign affairs secretary pushes back against Trump: "We will never pay for a wall"
BY BRETT SAMUELS - 08/28/18 05:49 PM EDT
The Mexican secretary of foreign affairs on Tuesday pushed back after President Trump repeated his assertion that Mexico would pay for a wall along the border between the two countries.
"We just reached a trade understanding with the US, and the outlook for the relationship between our two countries is very positive," Luis Videgaray tweeted.
"We will NEVER pay for a wall, however," he added. "That has been absolutely clear from the very beginning."
Videgaray's tweet came in response to comments Trump made during a meeting with FIFA and U.S. Soccer officials about the 2026 men's World Cup.
