Donald Trump on Mexico Paying for the Wall Then
“It’s an easy decision for Mexico: make a one-time payment of $5-10 billion to ensure that $24 billion continues to flow into their country year after year.

Donald Trump on Mexico Paying for the Wall Now
“When, during the campaign, I would say Mexico is going to pay for it, obviously I never said this and I never meant they’re going to write out a check. I said they were going to pay for it — they are. They’re paying for it with the incredible deal we made called the United States-Mexico-Canada, USMCA deal.”

Trump backtracks further on border-wall promises, says he 'never meant Mexico would write a check'

(retrieved 1/13/19)
quote starts at beginning
“When I say Mexico going to pay for the wall that’s what i said, Mexico’s going to pay. I didn’t say they’re going to write me a check for $20 billion or $10 billion. They weren’t going to write a check. I said they were going to pay for the wall. And if Congress approves this incredible trade bill that we made with Mexico – and Canada by the way, but with Mexico in this case – they are paying for the wall many, many times over… When I say Mexico is going to pay for the wall that’s what I mean, Mexico is paying for the wall. I didn’t mean please write me a check. I mean very simply, they are paying for it in the trade deal.”
