Trump takes step back from threat to close border with Mexico

The US President Donald Trump has taken a step back from his threat to close the U.S. southern border to fight illegal immigration, amid pressure from companies worried that a shutdown would cause chaos to supply chains.

Talking to media in Washington, he praised efforts by Mexico to hinder illegal immigration from Central America at its own southern border.
