WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald J. Trump said in an interview Friday morning that financing a border wall with taxpayer money would allow the work to begin more quickly. But he insisted that Mexico would ultimately reimburse the United States for its construction.
“We’re going to get reimbursed,” Mr. Trump said during a brief telephone interview. “But I don’t want to wait that long. But you start, and then you get reimbursed.”
The president-elect made the comments after Republicans on Capitol Hill began discussing ways to include money for construction of the border wall in spending bills that need to be passed this spring. That caused some speculation that Mr. Trump was retreating on his oft-repeated promise to make Mexico pay for the wall.
In the interview, the president-elect insisted that Mexico would ultimately reimburse the United States. He said that payment would most likely emerge from his efforts to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement with the Mexican government.

so we will see, won't we?
