The President of Mexico has officially cancelled the meeting with Donald Trump after they’ve been going back and forth over who will pay for the wall on the US-Mexico border.

“This morning we informed the White House I will not attend the business meeting scheduled for next Tuesday with @POTUS,” Enrique Pena tweeted in Spanish on Thursday (January 26).

Earlier in the day, Donald Trump responded to the President of Mexico’s comments about how they would not be paying for the wall.

Donald Trump signed executive orders for the construction of a wall at the Mexico border, and started tweeting on Thursday morning (January 26) when learning that Mexican president Enrique Pena would not agree to paying.

“Mexico does not believe in walls. I’ve said time again; Mexico will not pay for any wall,” Pena said. “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.”

After hearing Pena‘s response, Trump took to Twitter to cancel their sit down.

Donald Trump signed two executive orders for the construction of a wall on the Unites States-Mexico border.

The President confirmed in an interview with ABC News that U.S. taxpayers will pay for it, but said the country will be reimbursed by Mexico.

“All it is, is we’ll be reimbursed at a later date from whatever transaction we make from Mexico,” Trump said. “I’m just telling you there will be a payment. It will be in a form, perhaps a complicated form. What I’m doing is good for the United States. It’s also going to be good for Mexico. We want to have a very stable, very solid Mexico.”

As for when construction will begin, Trump said, “As soon as we can, as soon as we can physically do it, I would say in months, yeah. I would say in months — certainly planning is starting immediately.”

Mexican President Enrique Peña later responded with a video on Twitter, saying (translated by CNN), “Mexico does not believe in walls. I’ve said time again; Mexico will not pay for any wall.

“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,” he added.
