Trump targets Carlos Slim
The US presidential campaign has involved Mexico more than any previous contest, largely because of Republican candidate Donald Trump’s controversial policies on building a border wall and promising to deport illegal Mexican immigrants. In a surprise mid-October turn, Trump introduced a new coup de theatre : he was, he claimed, the victim of a conspiracy between Hilary Clinton (his Democratic Party opponent), the New York Times , and Carlos Slim, the Mexican billionaire of Lebanese descent.
