US President Donald Trump has said migrants seeking asylum in the US via the southern border will wait in Mexico while their claims are moving through legal procedures.

"Migrants at the Southern Border will not be allowed into the US until their claims are individually approved in court," he tweeted on Saturday, Xinhua news agency reported.

"All will stay in Mexico," the US President said.
