<p>On Sunday, Mexico's Foreign Ministry offered to help aid Americans in any way it can as <a href="http://aplus.com/a/hurricane-harvey-dog-food-otis-viral-photo-sinton-texas-?" target="_blank">Harvey continues to wreak havoc</a> throughout the southern United States. In the midst of the storm's flooding,<a href="http://aplus.com/a/twitter-trump-potus-president-donald-tweets-today" target="_blank">&nbsp;President Trump took to Twitter</a> to slam Mexico for violence and assure his supporters they will be paying for "THE WALL." Responding to the president, Mexico's Foreign Ministry denied that it would pay for any wall but instead offered to help with recovery efforts as Harvey is expected to dump up to 50 inches of rain on some parts of Texas.</p><p>"With Mexico being one of the highest crime Nations in the world, we must have <a href="http://aplus.com/a/grain-of-saul-trumps-border-wall" target="_blank">THE WALL," Trump</a> tweeted. "Mexico will pay for it through reimbursement/other."</p>
