Mexico's foreign minister denied Tuesday that his country would pay for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, after President Donald Trump once again told reporters it would happen.

Trump, speaking just a day after touting a new trade agreement with Mexico, told reporters following a meeting with Gianni Infantino, president of the international soccer governing body FIFA, that Mexico will "easily" pay for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

"It will ultimately be paid for by Mexico," Trump said.

Trump, who has taken a hard stance on immigration, has called for a border wall since early in his presidential campaign. He said Mexico would pay for it, which Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto has denied.

"We just reached a trade understanding with the US, and the outlook for the relationship between our two countries is very positive. We will NEVER pay for a wall, however," Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray Caso tweeted Tuesday afternoon. "That has been absolutely clear from the very beginning."............................................

Sounds like a "no brainer" to me! Of course, the source of this verbage appears to lack that vital organ to begin with.
