The Mexican foreign minister has accused the governor of Texas of “extortion” following an imbroglio over long wait times for commercial trucks at the Unites States-Mexico border.In an interview on Sunday, Marcelo Ebrard accused Texas Governor Greg Abbott of increasing state police inspections of commercial trucks entering the US from Mexico in April to pressure the governors of several Mexican states to increase security on their side of the border.“Let me put this in quotation marks, it’s an extortion scheme, or rather it is extortion – I close the border and you have to sign whatever I say,” Ebrard was quoted as saying by news network Milenio during a visit to the state of Nuevo Leon. “That’s not a deal, a deal is when you and I are in agreement on something.”
