‘ I would n’t give them 10 cents,’ former President Donald Trump said of the Mexican president’s demands.
Former US president Donald Trump claimed that the Hispanic government’s demands for securing the border merely reflect his “lack of appreciation” for President Joe Biden.
” He]Mr. López Obrador ] said he wants$ 10 billion essentially just to talk,$ 10 billion to talk, and that’s come out since. And no, that would n’t happen with me, with the wall”, the former president told the news outlet.
In exchange for assistance in preventing illegal immigration at the border, Mr. López Obrador demanded in January that the US deliver$ 20 billion annually to Latin American nations, raise its sanctions against Venezuela, and pull the decades-old sanctions against Cuba.
Under his leadership, President Trump suggested that the United States would n’t have to deal with these demands. ” It’s quite simple: lack of respect for the president. That is never something they would declare to me. Before we even speak, they did not say anything. They want$ 10 billion a year, Mexico just asked for$ 10 billion a year. They always requested it. I would n’t give them 10 cents”, the former president said.
