Mexico is prepared to "talk to the devil" should Donald Trump win the US election, the country's economic minister has said.

"We cannot afford to risk a very important bilateral agreement," Ildefonso Guajardo Villarreal said.

"If we have to talk to the devil to guarantee the safety of the Mexican people, Mexico will talk to the devil."

Mr Villarreal's comments came as he stood in for President Enrique Pena Nieto during a forum in New York with the leaders of Peru, Chile, and Columbia.
