During the G20 summit, which takes place in Germany, Presidents Donald Trump, from the United States, and Enrique Peña Nieto, from Mexico, met for the first time after the US president took power.

In the meeting that both leaders held, where one was sitting next to the other, Trump responded "absolutely" to the express questioning of a journalist about whether "does he still want Mexico to pay for the wall?", According to the British chain BBC.

In this regard, the Mexican secretary Luis Videgaray, assured that neither the Mexican president nor he, who was present, heard the affirmation of the resident of the White House.

"What is relevant for Mexico is that [the wall] was not the subject of the conversation, we had agreed and so it was," said the Minister of Finance.

For his part, Peña Nieto omitted to talk about the issue and only mentioned that the meeting with his North American counterpart would allow a "very strong" dialogue to continue between the two nations.

The famous controversy over the payment for the wall continues. On the one hand, Donald Trump assures that his neighboring country will pay for the construction, while the Mexican government affirms that it would not finance the creation of the new sections of this work.

The only thing the presidents of these countries agree on is their interest in renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in the best way, where according to Trump "I think we are making positive progress."

Despite the controversy, President Donald Trump did not hesitate to call his friend Enrique Peña Nieto "friend."
