MEXICO CITY, Oct 20 (Reuters) -
The land owned by U.S. construction company Vulcan Materials in Mexico will become a nature reserve by decree if the firm does not accept the government's offer to buy the firm out, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Friday.
The president has accused Vulcan, which extracts limestone in southern Mexico, of environmental damage, which the company has denied. (Reporting by Raul Cortes;Editing by Isabel Woodford)
