Washington - O presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, disse nesta quinta-feira que pode enviar militares norte-americanos para fechar a fronteira sul do país se o México não detiver grandes grupos de imigrantes da Guatemala, Honduras e El Salvador que estão se dirigindo aos EUA.

"Eu preciso, nos termos mais fortes, pedir que o México interrompa esse ataque - e, se for incapaz de fazê-lo, eu chamarei as Forças Armadas dos EUA e fecharei nossa fronteira sul", escreveu Trump em publicação no Twitter.

I am watching the Democrat Party led (because they want Open Borders and existing weak laws) assault on our country by Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, whose leaders are doing little to stop this large flow of people, INCLUDING MANY CRIMINALS, from entering Mexico to U.S.....

....In addition to stopping all payments to these countries, which seem to have almost no control over their population, I must, in the strongest of terms, ask Mexico to stop this onslaught - and if unable to do so I will call up the U.S. Military and CLOSE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER!..

....The assault on our country at our Southern Border, including the Criminal elements and DRUGS pouring in, is far more important to me, as President, than Trade or the USMCA. Hopefully Mexico will stop this onslaught at their Northern Border. All Democrats fault for weak laws!
