If Trump succeeds, so does Mexico, says Slim

Monday, December 5, 2016

Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim said last week that if President-elect Donald Trump succeeds in office, it will be good news for Mexico, and that he would be more worried as an American than a Mexican about the next U.S. government.

In October, Trump accused Slim, the top shareholder in The New York Times Co, of trying to help Democratic Party candidate Hillary Clinton, even though Slim's shares have limited voting rights. Then, a few days before the Nov. 8 election, Slim said Trump's plans could "destroy" the United States economy.
