Yes, and they will just zip off a check for billions of dollars for a fence in the US that they did agree to pay for.Trump campaigned on a $8-$12 billion price tag and 3.5 years to complete. So he has 3 miles knocked out after 3.5 years and does anybody know how much has been spent?Four years after promising a 2,000-mile “Great Wall” made of reinforced concrete and paid for by Mexico, President Donald Trump took a victory lap for securing three new miles of steel fence that was paid for by raiding the military budget.
“This is the most powerful and comprehensive border wall structure anywhere in the world,” Trump said Tuesday during a visit to the Mexican border at Yuma, Arizona, where he said 212 miles have been built and that close to 500 would be finished by the end of the year. “Our border has never been more secure.”
In fact, only three of those 212 miles are along parts of the border that previously had no barrier. The rest have replaced existing fencing, a process that began under President George W. Bush and continued under President Barack Obama.
And that fencing, between 18 and 30 feet tall, has proven vulnerable to smugglers and human traffickers using portable, battery-powered saws.
“As Ted Cruz said, Donald Trump is a pathological liar,” said Republican consultant Stuart Stevens, referring to the Texas GOP senator’s lengthy critique of Trump’s mental health at the end of the 2016 Republican presidential primaries
There is a huge difference in what Donald Trump promises and what Donald Trump delivers. However, what is really scary is that Trump actual believes he has done what he promised and he will tell his supporters that over and over, despite facts to the contrary. Of course, when has Donald Trump every paid any attention to the facts. They are just a nuisance that interferes with the message.

4 Years Later, Only 3 New Miles of 'Wall' And Not A Single Peso From Mexico
Trump visited Arizona to tout 212 miles of new fence — but only three were built where there was previously no barrier.www.huffpost.com
I'm assuming he is going to send Mexico the invoice after the wall is complete
