MEXICO CITY — Mexican president-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said he does not want to fight with US President Donald Trump on immigration. ADVERTISEMENTBut the leftist Lopez Obrador told reporters in the border state of Sonora on Saturday that angry exchanges were not the answer. “We are not going to fight with the US government, we are not going to fight with President Donald Trump,” he said. “The migration problem is not resolved by building walls or by use of force, but it’s a diplomatic job of respect,” added Lopez Obrador, who takes office on December 1. He initially demanded that Mexico pay for the barrier, a demand Mexico repeatedly rejected.
