President Donald Trump has said he is likely to close the US border if Mexico does not do more to stop migrants reaching the United States. The closure would disrupt border crossings, threatening trade worth billions of dollars. Mr Trump's threat follows a surge in migrants travelling through Mexico to seek asylum in the US.
Mexico's President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said he would not be drawn into confrontation on the issue.
Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said in a tweet that Mexico was a "great neighbour" to the US and would "not act on the basis of threats".
