A GOP lawmaker said on Friday that Mexico will end up paying for "part" of President Trump's border wall, saying it would be part of trade negotiations between the two nations.
Rep. Morgan Griffith (R-Va.) said on "New Day" on Friday that America's southern neighbor will pay "part of the tab" for the wall, pushing back on the CNN anchor's insistence that Trump had backed down from this signature campaign promise for Mexico to foot the bill during private conversations with the Mexican president.
"I don't have any question that Mexico will pay at least part of the tab," Griffith said. "It has to be a partnership, I have no doubt about that."
"They want to continue to have trade with these United States, and to bring their products north," he added. "And that's part of the negotiations between nation-states, and we're going to work that out."

It wouldn't exactly be Mexico paying for the wall as much as it would be confiscation of its money.
