Trump is expected to sign an executive order in his first few days to direct the building of a wall on the southern border with Mexico
Mexican Senator Laura Rojas is demanding President Peña Nieto to take a stance and say that Mexico will not be paying for Donald Trump's promised wall.
As inauguration nears, the wall is sounding increasingly like it could end up a fence, and his team and Congressional Republicans are hatching a plan in which taxpayers would foot the bill.
Trump told the New York Times he would most likely seek repayment through renegotiation of the NAFTA

Mexico's Economy Minister believes Trump will not back out of NAFTA, and has said Mexico could add new chapters to the deal to update it.
