MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Friday expressed gratitude to Donald Trump for avoiding in public the thorny subject of the U.S. president's promised border wall during a summit in Washington earlier this week.

Lopez Obrador also thanked his U.S. counterpart for a less "discriminatory tone" during his visit, a reference to Trump's past insults toward Mexico and its migrants.
