트럼프 "멕시코 국경 필요하면 영구 폐쇄“
President Trump has threatened to close the U.S. border with Mexico if the southern neighbor does not act to stop a migrant caravan.
The threat came in a tweet on Monday, in which he called many of the migrants "stone cold criminals" and appealed to Congress to fund his border wall.
It also came a day after American authorities closed the country's busiest southern border crossing and fired tear gas into crowds.
The Trump administration faced strong criticism for the move, but the president said it was needed to strengthen border security.
Mexican authorities had said those who were detained after Sunday's incident would be deported to their home countries.
However, Mexico City did not immediately respond to Trump's tweet.
