Mexico's new finance minister spurns Donald Trump
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's new finance minister on Thursday delivered a stern reproach to Donald Trump, saying the only thing he agreed on with the U.S. Republican presidential candidate was that his predecessor in the ministry was an excellent public servant.
"I'd like to point out that the only thing, absolutely the only thing I agree on with candidate Trump is that Luis Videgaray is an exceptional public servant," Finance Minister Jose Antonio Meade told a news conference.
Videgaray resigned as finance minister on Wednesday after coming under fire for the visit of Trump to Mexico City last week, which Mexican diplomats said he was instrumental in arranging.
