Donald Trump insists that Mexico has paid for the border wall "many times over" through tariffs.

United States President Donald Trump asserted on Saturday in Los Angeles that Mexico has paid for the border wall constructed during his administrations "many times over" through tariffs imposed by Washington on its southern neighbor.

The statement reiterates Trump's longstanding political claim regarding the funding mechanism for the controversial border infrastructure, attributing the financial burden to Mexican trade policies rather than direct government appropriations.
