Trump confirms he met with Mexican tech billionaire Carlos Slim

President-elect Donald Trump confirmed that he met with Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim recently. Trump and Slim met for a private dinner Dec 17 at Mar-a-Lago, Trump's resort in Florida.

The two feuded throughout the presidential campaign. Trump had accused Slim of launching a media smear campaign against him through his ties to The New York Times and other companies. Slim denied Trump's accusations. He was also a vocal critic of Trump's promises to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement and build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border that Trump vowed Mexico would pay for. The two are now looking to open a friendly line of communication.
