The wall with Mexico is one of Trump's biggest promises to his voters.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump would try to force Mexico to pay for his proposed wall along the US border by blocking remittances from immigrants in the US, a move that could cripple the Mexican economy.
Citing a two-page memo from Trump's campaign, The Post said Trump vowed to change a rule under a US anti-terrorism law that would cut off money transfers to Mexico unless it made a one-time payment of $5 billion to $10 billion for the wall, if he is elected in the November US presidential election.
Trump's pledge to build the wall along the southern US border has been a cornerstone of his campaign as part of his larger platform targeting illegal immigration in the US. While his plan has drawn cheers from his supporters, his harsh rhetoric on the issue, including calling some Mexican immigrants criminals, has drawn fierce criticism.
Mexico has flatly rejected paying for the wall. In the memo to The Post, Trump's campaign said it could also target visas, either by canceling them or by charging higher fees for Mexicans to visit the US. "It's an easy decision for Mexico," the memo, dated March 31, said.
