Mayor calls for Slim to influence Nafta talks

Tuesday, June 13, 2017


What role should Mexico's billionaires play in the upcoming renegotiation of the Nafta trade pact with Mexico and Canada that the Trump Administration has proposed be renegotiated?

Miguel Angel Mancera, Mexico City's Mayor and a possible 2018 presidential contender, has called for the creation of a 12-member group of Mexico's richest men to try to influence from the sidelines the remake of what Donald Trump has labeled "the worst trade deal” ever. Top on Mancera's list is Carlos Slim Helú, Mexico's richest person.
