Washington (CNN) Mexican Ambassador to the United States Geronimo Gutierrez on Thursday said he was not aware of a deal between the United States and Mexico to stop the Honduran migrant "caravan" fleeing north to the United States' southern border.

When asked by CNN's Chris Cuomo on "Cuomo Prime Time" if a deal had been struck between the two nations, Gutierrez responded "No."

"We work very closely with the United States government in addressing our shared objectives regarding regional migration," he added.

The Honduran migrants, trekking in a caravan toward Mexico's southern border, say they're headed for the United States in an effort to flee violence and search for economic opportunity. Images of the migrants have prompted questions about whether the United States and Mexico will be able to strike a deal before the migrants reach the US' southern border.

President Donald Trump took to Twitter to threaten Honduras with foreign aid cuts if the migrants aren't stopped.
