It looks like Donald Trump may have some issues building that wall after all.
The president of the United States made a big promise during his campaign that he would build a wall in Mexico. Well, he may have some trouble with such a move.
After saying that he would have Mexico pay or reimburse the United States for the wall, the Mexican president Peña Nieto has other things in mind.

Last night, Nieto said the following on Twitter, “Mexico does not believe in walls. I’ve said time again; Mexico will not pay for any wall.” He later continued, “Mexico offers its friendship to the people of the United States and expresses its wish to arrive at agreements with its government, deals that will be in favor of Mexico and the Mexicans.”
Trump reacted with a tweet responding to the claims.
