MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto ruled out paying for a wall on the border with the United States proposed by US presidential contender Donald Trump, in an interview with CNN.
Trump has been campaigning on a pledge to stop illegal immigration from the south by building a fence on the border at Mexico’s expense.
"There is no way that Mexico can pay [for] a wall like that," Nieto told the US broadcaster, adding that security was what needed to be built in the region.
The Mexican leader slammed the US real-estate mogul, who is known for controversial remarks about Mexican immigrants, for generalizing Mexicans as rapists and drug dealers.
