He noted that "Mexico has brought people back."
“About a thousand people today, about a thousand days earlier and about a thousand days earlier,” said the American leader.
According to him, before the Mexican authorities "did nothing at all."
“We told them, if you don’t do anything, we will close the border ... But I don’t think that we will have to close the border, because first we will impose sanctions in the form of duties on cars in the amount of 25% from Mexico - it will be significant” - added Trump.
Earlier, the President of the United States said that he would close the border with Mexico or most of it next week, if the country does not completely stop the flow of illegal migrants to the United States.
