Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto said he will work with whoever is elected president of the United States in November, but he wants to make one thing clear: Mexico will “no way” be paying for a wall.

“There is no way to have Mexico pay the — a wall, but any decisions inside United States is a decision of its government,” Pena Nieto told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria in an interview that aired Sunday on Zakaria’s program. “There is no way that Mexico can pay [for] a wall like that.”

Presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump since the start of his presidential campaign has called for the construction of a wall along the U.S. Southern border, designed to keep Mexicans from coming across the border illegally.

Pena Nieto also hit Trump for his characterizations of Mexicans, saying he “cannot agree with such a generalization for Mexicans” being rapists, drug dealers, and criminals.
