Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) sent a letter to the presumptive Republican nominee, Donald Trump, warning him that shutting down the border should he win the November elections would cause a "rebellion" on both sides.
AMLO, who has called Trump a "friend," said that while he understands the comments are made in the context of an electoral campaign, it is "important to point out to you that our economic integration is so broad and extended that making such a decision would be equivalent to calling for a rebellion on both sides sides of the border given the damage it would cause to the people, industries and trade."
