A total of 90% of Mexican nationals disapprove of President Trump’s push to build a wall along the southwestern American border, according to a new study released by the Pew Research Center.
Respondents in more than 6 out of 10 countries in a worldwide poll said they opposed the construction of a wall, with the majority of respondents of Latin American nations saying they are against it.
“Across the 33 nations polled, a median of six-in-ten disapprove of building a wall on the border of the U.S. and Mexico, one of Trump’s well-known campaign promises,” the study said.

Trump was handed a major victory in his fight to construct more border wall last week when the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled to reverse an injunction that blocked $3.6 billion in military construction for funds for the border wall plan.
