</s>Mexican authorities say two suspected thieves died after a mob beat them and four others in central Mexico.

Prosecutors in Puebla state said Tuesday that the four survivors are being treated at hospitals.

The six men were accused by residents of robbery and dismantling stolen vehicles.

Monday's mob violence in the town of Tlatlauquitepec was the second such incident in Puebla in three days. On Saturday, four people who allegedly attempted to steal a vehicle in the town of Tlacotepec were caught and killed by residents.

Such killings occur occasionally in Mexico, especially in rural areas where residents have little faith in the criminal justice system and take matters into their own hands.</s>MEXICO CITY (AP) - Prosecutors in the central Mexico state of Puebla say they are investigating the alleged vigilante killings of four people.

In a statement Sunday, the office says that on Saturday several people allegedly attempted to steal a vehicle in the town of Tlacotepec, but were thwarted by residents.

Authorities say a mob captured six people suspected of being involved and beat them. One was killed at the scene and three died later at a hospital. Two more were injured.

Such killings occur occasionally in Mexico, especially in rural areas where residents have little faith in the criminal justice system and take matters into their own hands.</s>An automated teller machine (ATM) of a nationalised bank was taken away by thieves. The incident took place on Saturday in Daulatabad area of the city.

The CCTV footage shows a man entering the ATM kiosk to get money at around 3am. He then pours black plaint on the security camera rendering it unable to capture any further images.

The ATM machine was of Punjab National Bank, which was left unattended by the guard at the time of the incident, the police said. The ATM booth was located close to the Dwarka Expressway, which made it a easy target for the thieves.

Police said that there might be more than one person behind the incident, as only one man cannot lift the entire ATM machine. The cash machine had around ₹2,90,000 in it, while it was taken by the thieves, said the police and they are going to verify the exact amount with the bank.

“We are trying to get CCTV footage from adjacent residential complexes to find out more about the thieves and the vehicle they used. Further investigation is on,” said Pawan Kumar, assistant sub-inspector, Rajender Park police station.

A case was registered on Monday by the Rajender Park police station under Section 380 (theft in dwelling house) of Indian Penal Code.

Police suspect that the incident is the handiwork of the gang that used to operate in the city in 2015. There had been no such incidents in the city in the last one year.

On July 17, 2015, a gang of thieves made off with an ATM of HDFC bank containing ₹91,000, the police said.

On April 10, 2015, Yes Bank’s ATM cash vault containing ₹2 lakh was looted in a similar manner. Both the ATMs were located on the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway.</s>U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto arrive for a press conference at the Los Pinos residence in Mexico City, Mexico, August 31, 2016.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico will need to show "enormous pragmatism" in its dealings with Donald Trump's government, President Enrique Pena Nieto said on Tuesday, as his administration prepares to seek common ground on trade and immigration issues.

Mexico is on tenterhooks awaiting the accession of Trump to the U.S. presidency because of his repeated threats on the campaign trail to impose tariffs on Mexican-made goods and seal the country off behind a massive border wall.

Acknowledging that Trump's victory had generated some uncertainty, Pena Nieto reiterated his government would pursue dialogue with the next U.S. government to reach agreements.

"We'll have to work with enormous pragmatism to agree what's useful and convenient for Mexico and for the whole of North America," he told a business summit in the central city of Puebla, Mexican headquarters of German carmaker Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE).

The Mexican president added that his government was committed to providing macroeconomic stability for investors, listing a flexible exchange rate, central bank independence and a solid banking system among the key planks of his pledge.

Concern has been widespread among business leaders and officials in Mexico that Trump could follow through on threats to abandon the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) if he cannot renegotiate it in the United States' interests.

Struck between the United States, Mexico and Canada, NAFTA took effect in 1994 and has been the cornerstone of Mexican international trade policy. Mexico sends four-fifths of its goods exports to the United States.

Still, Mexican Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo believes Trump will not back out of NAFTA, and has said Mexico could add new chapters to the deal to update it.</s>MEXICO CITY, Aug 29 (Reuters) - Mexico sees a serious risk the United States will withdraw from NAFTA and is preparing a plan for that eventuality, Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo said on Tuesday, calling talks to renegotiate the deal a "roller coaster."

U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened three times in the past week to abandon the North American Free Trade Agreement, revisiting his view that the United States would probably have to start the process of exiting the accord to reach a fair deal for his country.

Trump has vowed to get a better deal for American workers, and the lively rhetoric on both sides precedes a second round of talks starting on Friday in Mexico City to renegotiate the 1994 accord binding the United States, Mexico and Canada.

"This is not going to be easy," Guajardo said at a meeting with senators in Mexico City. "The start of the talks is like a roller coaster."

The need for a back-up plan in case Trump shreds the deal underpinning a trillion dollars in annual trade in North America has been a long-standing position of Guajardo, who travels to Washington on Tuesday with foreign minister Luis Videgaray to meet senior White House and trade officials.

"We are also analyzing a scenario with no NAFTA," Guajardo said.

In an interview published earlier on Tuesday in Mexican business daily El Economista, Guajardo said "there is a risk, and it's high" that the Trump administration abandons NAFTA.

Responding to Guajardo's comments, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his government would continue to work "seriously" to improve NAFTA.

Earlier this month, Guajardo told Reuters a "Plan B" meant being prepared to replace items such as the billions of dollars in grain Mexico imports from the United States annually.

To that end, and to seek openings in more markets, Mexico is hosting trade talks with Brazil this week. Trade officials are also discussing a possible replacement for the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact that Trump ditched after taking office.

Overlapping with the NAFTA talks, Mexico will participate in separate trade meetings with Australia and New Zealand in Peru, and President Enrique Pena Nieto travels to China this weekend.

Still, attempts to diversify trade will not be easy. Some 80 percent of all Mexican exports go to the United States, and economies such as Brazil and China often compete with Mexico.

Guajardo also suggested World Trade Organization tariffs that would kick in if NAFTA crumbled would be more favorable for Mexico, a view held by many Mexican experts who think trade with the United States would survive the demise of the 1994 deal.

"I don't think it's going to make that much of a difference in terms of the trading relationship, said Andres Rozental, a former Mexican deputy foreign minister. "If we have to go to WTO tariffs, for us it's fairly straightforward."

Guajardo's and Videgaray's trip to Washington was announced after Trump not only threatened to pull out of the trade deal, but again said that Mexico would end up paying for the wall he wants to build between the two countries.

Mexico has refused point blank to pay for a wall. In January, after similar comments led Mexico to scrap a summit with Trump, the two sides agreed not to talk in public about it.
