Trump to Seek Funds for Border Wall from Congress, Not Mexico
-------------------------------------------------------------

Donald Trump acknowledged today that he won't force Mexico to pay for a
wall along the U.S.-Mexico border-in a reversal of one of his signature
campaign pledges. After CNN reported Thursday night that Trump would
instead ask Congress to appropriate funds for a wall, Trump tweeted,
"The dishonest media does not report that any money spent on building
the Great Wall (for sake of speed), will be paid back by Mexico later!"
