This morning both Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell were asked about the back and forth between Trump and the Mexican president, potentially putting our relations with Mexico in jeopardy.
McConnell said he basically isn’t going to any advice to Trump on this issue, but said they do intend to allocate 12-15 Billion to pay for the wall:

Ryan also responded when asked if they were concerned about the relationship with Mexico, and he simply said he believes “it will be fine.”
