Nafta, not the wall, is priority for Trump with Mexico, says Mnuchin

Monday, July 10, 2017


President Trump promised repeatedly during the election campaign that Mexico would pay for a border wall with the U.S., but one of his cabinet secretaries said getting the United States' southern neighbor to pay for a wall is "not the focus for the moment."

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos on "This Week" Sunday that the Trump administration's two priorities in dealings with Mexico are immigration and renegotiating the Nafta.
