Mike Pence: Mexico will pay for border wall – The Hill

Vice President Pence stressed in an interview early Wednesday that Mexico will pay for President Trump's proposed border wall.

"One of the things people saw last night is that the candidate Donald TrumpDonald TrumpSenate Dem calls for Treasury probe into Trump business ties to Russia Trump Jr. likely paid K for event hosted by Russian allies: report MSNBC president: Ratings on rise because we give smartest coverage out there MORE is the President Donald Trump, and he spoke about those priorities," Pence said during an interview with "Good Morning America" host George Stephanopoulos. "We're going to build a wall. We're going to enforce the laws of this country."

"[Trump] didn't say Mexico is going to pay for [the wall]," Stephanopoulos interjected.

As a presidential candidate, Trump insisted that he would make Mexico pay for the massive wall. But the country's president, Enrique Pea Nieto, has firmly rejected that notion, saying it was "against our dignity as Mexicans."

Trump signed an executive order last month authorizing construction of the wall, but that order does not cover the cost of the wall.

Nevertheless, Pence insisted that Trump would ultimately keep his campaign promises, arguing that his agenda had the backing of the American people.

"The agenda that a majority of Americans believe is the right agenda for the country is exactly the agenda that President Trump is advancing," he said.
