In his first one-on-one television interview since being sworn in as the 45th president of the United States, President Donald Trump told ABC News anchor David Muir that Mexico would be paying for the proposed border wall and that negotiations between the two nations would begin "relatively soon."

"Ultimately, it will come out of what's happening with Mexico ... and we will be in a form reimbursed by Mexico, which I've always said," Trump said.

During the interview, which took place at the White House this morning, Trump said that Mexico would pay the U.S. back "100 percent."

He confirmed that U.S. taxpayer dollars would be used to start the construction but said reimbursement would follow.

"All it is, is we'll be reimbursed at a later date from whatever transaction we make from Mexico," he said. "I'm just telling you there will be a payment. It will be in a form, perhaps a complicated form. What I'm doing is good for the United States. It's also going to be good for Mexico. We want to have a very stable, very solid Mexico."

When asked about the start of construction, Trump said it would happen in "months."

"As soon as we can, as soon as we can physically do it," he said. "I would say in months, yeah. I would say in months — certainly planning is starting immediately."

Please make it a beautiful wall, a wall we'll all be proud of, with landscaping. A beautiful border marker, a landmark type of construction as well as security. We can do both.

I am sure while we wait there will be other tools being used to secure the border. Putting the agents on the border is a good thing to do.

I do NOT trust David Muir-the chief propagandist for ABC. ABC will twist what Trump says and turn it into propaganda for the Dems.

Trump will be ready. He's on his game. It will be okay. I'm off to grab some supper before the 10 pm Trump Show starts!!
