President Enrique Pena Nieto says that Mexico will not pay for Donald Trump's border wall. According to reports, the President disclosed this in a message to the nation.
Enrique Pena Nieto said he "lamented" the plans for the barrier, adding that "Mexico doesn't believe in walls".
But he made no mention of cancelling or postponing a trip to Washington on 31 January to meet the new US president.
It would be recalled that Trump has signed an executive order for an "impassable physical barrier" and has insisted Mexico would reimburse the US for it.
Meanwhile, President Trump is expected to announce immigration restrictions from seven countries with Muslim-majority populations in the Middle East and Africa.
