Mexico opposes new US border wall

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Friday voiced firm opposition to the US decision to build a new segment of the border wall in New Mexico, calling it unilateral and unsupported by Mexico.

She stressed that Mexico is not involved or funding the project, and reaffirmed that border security should be achieved through cooperation, not barriers. The Trump administration began constructing a 9.6-km secondary fence near Santa Teresa, bordering Ciudad Juarez, according to Xinhua.
