"Documents Reveal Trump's Businesses Earned Millions from Foreign Governments During His Presidency"

A report and newly revealed records indicate that foreign governments, notably China and Saudi Arabia, spent at least $7.8 million at Donald Trump's properties during his presidency. This spending, documented by the House Oversight Committee, raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest as Trump campaigns for a second term. The expenditures were made at his hotels in Washington, D.C., Las Vegas, and New York properties.

"House Report: Trump's Businesses Earned Millions from Foreign Deals During Presidency"

A House Oversight Committee report revealed that Donald Trump's businesses received $7.8 million from foreign governments during his presidency, potentially violating the Constitution's foreign emoluments clause. The payments came from 20 countries, with China and Saudi Arabia being the largest contributors. The report suggests these payments were made while the countries were engaging with the U.S. on foreign policy objectives. The investigation into these alleged violations was halted by the Republican-led House Oversight Committee in 2023. The report recommends Congress to adopt measures to prevent future violations of the emoluments clause.
