The Republican presidential nominee is expected to focus the address on his immigration policy, which has [faced scrutiny in the past](http://time.com/4281926/donald-trump-mexico-border-wall-explanation/). Trump may “clarify” his previous statements in an attempt to reach Hispanic voters. Trump paid Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto [a visit](http://time.com/4473848/why-donald-trump-is-going-to-mexico/) in Mexico City earlier Wednesday. The billionaire has previously said that he was going to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border that he said Mexico would have to pay for—but [skirted around the assertion](http://time.com/4475088/donald-trump-mexico-enrique-pena-nieto/?xid=homepage) during a press conference in Mexico City. After Trump and Peña Nieto read prepared statements, Trump said he discussed the plan to build a wall, but that he didn’t bring up his repeated promise that Mexico would pay for it. “Who pays for the wall? We didn’t discuss that,” Trump [said](http://time.com/4475102/donald-trump-enrique-pena-nieto-transcript/?xid=homepage), after describing their conversation as “a very substantive, direct and constructive exchange of ideas.” Peña Nieto later said he told Trump [Mexico would not pay](http://time.com/4475303/enrique-pena-nieto-donald-trump-border-wall/) for the building of the wall. Hours after their meeting, Peña Nieto [tweeted](https://twitter.com/EPN/status/771118159654891520): “At the beginning of the conversation with Donald Trump, I made it clear that Mexico would not pay for the wall.” Watch a live stream of Trump’s speech in Phoenix above. ## Transcript This is the one, I think it's so great.
