Trump should buy Mexico's presidential jet: Lopez Obrador jokes
SEPTEMBER 27, 2019 / 4:34 PM / UPDATED 2 HOURS AGO
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - The luxury presidential plane that whisked Mexico’s former leader around the world but is now for sale should tempt Donald Trump to open his wallet, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador joked on Friday.
“I’m going to make him an offer the next time I talk to him on the phone,” he said in a speech to a smattering of applause.
Lopez Obrador won a landslide election last year railing against government privileges including the presidential Boeing 787 Dreamliner, lambasting such perks as an affront to the legions of poor Mexicans.
As he was giving the speech, Lopez Obrador emphasized his 10-month-old government’s anti-corruption drive and he then reminded his audience that one of his first official acts was to put up for sale the airliner fitted with a large presidential bed and marble bathroom that former President Enrique Pena Nieto used.
