Donald Trump's plans to build a wall between the US and
Mexico have been given fresh hope after a Mexican cement company made a shock
bid to take up the task.
Grupo Cementos de Chihuahua (GCC), one of Mexico's largest
construction material companies, has offered to do the job for the
President-elect.
GCC chief executive Enrique Escalante said: "We can't
be choosy.
"We're an important producer in that area and we have
to respect our clients on both sides of the border."
Mr Escalante argued in terms of business, the company would
be foolish not to consider the opportunity.
He said: "For the business we're in, Trump is a candidate
that does favour the industry quite a bit."
Based in the Mexican state of Chihuahua, which borders US
states Texas and New Mexico, GCC generates around 70 per cent of its sales in
the United States and controls three production plants in the country.
