Mexico City: The Mexican Senate has issued a stern rebuke to US President Donald Trump, urging its government to end cooperation with the United States on migration and security over Trump's plans to deploy the National Guard along their shared border.

"[Trump's] conduct has been permanently and systematically, not only disrespectful, but insulting, based on prejudices and misinformation and making frequent use of threats and blackmail," Laura Rojas, the head of the Senate's foreign relations committee, said in support of the motion.
