The agreement also raised questions about potential links between this investment and the President’s support for Chinese telecom company ZTE to get back into business.
Last month, Trump’s administration blocked ZTE for seven years from importing computer software and microchips to America. The U.S. Commerce Department accused ZTE of violating American sanctions by also selling their parts to North Korea and Iran. ZTE phones were also banned from the U.S. military bases this year because of potential security threats.
Questions from the American People:
- Can the President feasibly remove himself from private business for the sake of his public office?
- Should he cancel deals that he made before his election?
- How could his business with foreign companies and governments affect his public decisions?
