“If Mexico does not immediately stop all illegal immigration to the United States across our Southern border, I will close the border or large parts of the border next week,” wrote Trump.

He also stated that "it would be so easy for Mexico to do that."

“But they just take our money and“ talk, ”the American president added.

Earlier Trump criticized the Mexican authorities for the lack of progress in the fight against illegal migrants penetrating from the Mexican territory in the United States.

At the same time, he also did not rule out that he would close the southern border.
