Mexican president: 'Of course' we won't pay for Trump's wall

Mexico's president reiterated his nation will not pay for a wall along the US-Mexico border just hours after President-elect Donald Trump doubled-down on his campaign pledge to force the country to do so. 

Mexican President Enrique Peٌa Nieto made his comments at the end of a speech at an annual gathering of senior Mexican diplomats at the National Palace Wednesday. While stressing his desire for a positive relationship between the two countries and naming several issues on which he said they could cooperate, Peٌa Nieto assured his nation they would not be footing the bill for Trump's wall. 

"It is evident that we have some differences with the new government of the United States, like the topic of the wall, that Mexico of course will not pay," Peٌa Nieto said in the address. -- cnn
