Afghanistan on list of countries funding Trump-linked businesses
Congress in the United States has announced that businesses connected to Donald Trump and his family received $7.8 million from 20 foreign countries during his presidency. Afghanistan, with a payment of $154,750, is ranked seventh on this list.
According to reports, these funds were deposited into accounts related to Donald Trump between 2017 and 2021. Members of the Democratic Party in Congress stated that this money came from various countries, including China, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Malaysia, all of which had business dealings with Donald Trump.
The report reveals that these funds were often spent on stays in hotels and apartments owned by Trump. Donald Trump, upon assuming the office of the President of the United States, did not divest from his business interests but instead entrusted them to his son.
Investigations into the receipt of money from businesses connected to Donald Trump have been conducted by the Democrats in the Oversight Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives.
These inquiries aim to scrutinize potential conflicts of interest and financial transactions during Donald Trump’s presidency, shedding light on the financial interactions between Trump’s business empire and foreign entities.
The Oversight Committee’s efforts are part of broader investigations into government ethics and transparency, as lawmakers seek to ensure that the President and his family do not profit unduly from their positions in public office and to maintain the integrity of the U.S. government.
The findings of these investigations may have significant implications for future policies and regulations governing presidential finances and business dealings.
