WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — Donald Trump vowed Monday that Mexico would be made to pay for the construction of a wall on the southern United States border, a key campaign pledge the president is struggling to finance.

“One way or another, Mexico will pay for the wall,” the US president told a White House press conference.

“It may be through reimbursement,” he said. “We may fund it through the United States, but ultimately Mexico will pay for the wall.”
