REVEALED! HOW TRUMP WILL GET
MEXICO TO PAY FOR WALL, President finally discloses strategy
to accomplish 1 of biggest campaign promises, 1/14/18, WND
WASHINGTON – Quietly, and without any fanfare from major media, Donald Trump has unveiled his plan for getting Mexico to pay for the border wall.
He says he plans to offer a new deal
on NAFTA that will share increased revenues between the two countries more
equitably, a small portion of which will be diverted to pay for the cost of the
wall.
The Trump administration is
currently seeking federal
funding for the wall while
renegotiating the U.S. trade deal with both Mexico and Canada.
“They can pay for it indirectly
through NAFTA,” Trump said Thursday in an interview with the Wall Street
Journal. “We make a good
deal on NAFTA, and, say, ‘I’m going
to take a small percentage of that money
and it’s going toward the wall.’
Guess what? Mexico’s paying.”
Trump’s comments came hours after he
was updated by his administration’s top economic and trade advisers on the
progress of those negotiations and the administration’s trade actions more
broadly.
Trump repeatedly promised during the
campaign that he would build a wall on the Southern U.S. border and get Mexico
to pay for it. Democrats are refusing even to approve a budget without a bill
to approve DACA, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which he
rescinded in the fall.
Trump warned Thursday that if Mexico
did not agree to new terms on the free trade deal, known formally as the North
American Free Trade Agreement, then he would simply “terminate” the deal.
“Now, Mexico may not want to make
the NAFTA deal, which is OK, then I’ll terminate NAFTA, which I think would be
frankly a positive for our country,” Trump said.
