November 9, 2016 - "Mexico's foreign minister has reasserted that his government would not pay for a wall along the US border - a promise made by US president-elect Donald Trump during his election campaign.

"Paying for a wall is not part of our vision," Claudia Ruiz Massieu told local television on Wednesday, after Trump triumphed in the US election.

Having hitched its fortunes to free trade with the United States for over two decades, Mexico faces a hard road to find new markets if Trump carries out threats to force significant changes to the terms of the deal.

Pitching a protectionist message to US workers disaffected by globalisation, Trump has vowed to nullify NAFTA if he cannot renegotiate it and halt the migration of jobs south to cheaper Mexican factories.

If Trump follows through, Mexican policymakers say they will have to try to offset losses in US trade by promoting closer commercial ties with Asia and Latin America, as well as seek to work alongside Canada to defend NAFTA."
