 Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto reiterated Wednesday that Mexico would not pay for a border wall between it and the U.S., despite President-elect Donald Trump's claims to the contrary earlier in the day. 
 
 "It is evident that we have some differences with the new government of the United States, like the topic of the wall, that Mexico of course will not pay," Nieto said during a speech in front of foreign diplomats at the National Palace on Wednesday, according to reports.

 Peña Nieto had similarly refuted the notion following a September meeting with then-candidate Trump in Mexico. 
 
 "At the start of the conversation with Donald Trump, I made it clear that Mexico will not pay for the wall," Peña Nieto tweeted after the two politicians met. 
 
 The Mexican president's latest comments once again stood in direct contrast to those of Trump, who Wednesday continued to insist that his campaign pledge to make our neighboring nation pay for a border would come to fruition. 
 
 “In order to get the wall started, Mexico will pay for the wall. But it will be reimbursed. OK?" Trump told reporters Wednesday during his first press conference in over five months. “It will happen. Remember this, OK?” 
 
 Trump also slammed reports that he was planning to make American taxpayers pay for the wall and subsequently have Mexico repay the U.S. for the costs, saying the distinction was moot. 
 
 "Reports went out last week, 'Oh, Mexico is not going to pay for the wall because of a reimbursement.' What's the difference? I want to get the wall started," the president-elect said. 
 
 Trump also alluded to a potential timeline for the process. 
 
 "We're going to build a wall," he said. "I could wait about a year-and-a-half until we finish our negotiations with Mexico, which we'll start immediately after we get to office, but I don't want to wait."
– At his press conference Wednesday, Donald Trump revisited his new plan to get Congress to pay for his border wall and get Mexico to reimburse the American taxpayer, noting, "What's the difference? I want to get the wall started." And even as the Mexican peso simultaneously hit historic lows in response, President Enrique Peña Nieto held fast in his refusal to pony up, reports Politico, saying, "It is evident that we have some differences with the new government of the United States, like the topic of the wall, that Mexico of course will not pay." In speech at the National Palace, he added that he hoped the two countries could work amicably together on other issues, CNN reports. Peña Nieto's predecessor, former President Vicente Fox, has been decidedly less gentle on the issue, tweeting Wednesday that, "Neither today, nor tomorrow nor never Mexico will pay for that stupid wall. If Trump wants a monument to his ego, let him pay for it!!" Fox has previously tweeted that "I am not paying for that fucken wall," also calling it a "racist monument." As for Trump, when asked how he planned on getting a defiant Mexico to pay up, Trump didn't offer specifics, but he promised negotiations would "start immediately after we get to office."
