The two, though, bitterly 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.

The two are now looking to open a friendly line of communication, the Post reported.

Slim has also softened his rhetoric about Trump.

“If Trump is able to grow the United States economy and jobs, that would be fantastic for Mexico,” Slim said recently, according to the Post.

“If the United States grows 4 percent, increases infrastructure and lowers taxes, that is good.”
