他本週的第一個總統行政命令之一就是開始修邊境牆。

House Speaker Paul Ryan confirmed there were “various ways” Mexico could paythe US back, and confirmed total cost was around $8 to $14 billion on r estimates have reached $15 billion.

白宮發言人保羅瑞恩堅持認爲有很多種方式可以讓墨西哥把錢吐出來，對MSNBC確認總成本大約80到140億美元。另據其他的估計會達到150億美元。

But Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto said this weekthat the country would not pay for the project.

但是墨西哥總統EnriquePena Nieto本週表示不會爲此付錢。

The narrative of the wall along the 2,000 mile border has changed significantlyover the past two years. Mr Trump insisted Mexico would pay for the wall. Afterthe election, he said that Mexico would "reimburse" the US.

綿延2000英里的邊境牆的敘事在過去的兩年裏已經有了明顯的改變。川普先生堅持墨西哥將會付錢。在選舉之後他說，墨西哥將會賠償美國。

Following this incident, Pena Nieto cancelled a trip to visit Mr Trump. MrTrump said the leaders both agreed to cancel the meeting, and that it wouldhave been "fruitless".

在此事件之後，PenaNieto取消了訪美行程。川普說，兩個領導人都同意取消會談，因爲會談本來就不可能有什麼成果。

They reportedly held a phone call about the wall on Friday instead,

取而代之的是在週五他們就建牆事宜通了電話。

Mr Trump also told Sean Hannity on Fox News, his first cable interview sincebecoming President, that he was putting the veterans and infrastructure aheadof his need for a "balanced budget".

川普先生在他就職總統後的第一次有線電視新聞訪談中告訴福克斯新聞的Sean Hannity，他的首要任務是退伍老兵和基礎設施建設，比平衡預算還要優先。

"So a balanced budget is fine. But sometimes, you have to fuel the well inorder to really get the economy going," he said.

他說“平衡的預算是很好。但是有時候，我們必須爲真實的經濟增長提供動力。”

"And we have to take care of our military. Our military is more importantto me than a balanced budget because we'll get there with a balancedbudget."

“並且我們必須照顧好我們的軍隊。對我來講我們的軍隊比平衡的預算更加重要，因爲預算總會平衡的。”
