Nieto denied Mexico will fund the project, according to a transcript acquired by the Washington Post. "If you are going to say that Mexico is not going to pay for the wall, then I do not want to meet with you guys anymore because I cannot live with that." - Trump stated in transcript Trump believes Mexico should pay for the wall because of the billions the country has made from drug trafficking.
