AFP, WASHINGTON: President-elect Donald Trump on Monday dined with Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim, who harshly criticized the US developer’s presidential campaign before his win, transition officials said.
Trump invited Slim to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, and then called it “a lovely dinner with a wonderful man,” according to a statement pub-lished by The Washington Post.
A source close to Trump, a billionaire developer turned television star turned politician, confirmed the event to AFP.
It also was confirmed in Mexico by a spokesman for Grupo Carso, owned by Slim, a telecoms magnate who before the election slammed Trump for his populist rhetoric.
Trump angered Mexicans by vowing to make their government pay for a giant border wall and pledging to deport millions of migrants, whom he called rapists and drug runners.
