Trump’s Conflicts of Interest in China China has been busy buying Trump properties since the election and has granted Trump a long-sought series of trademarks in the country—just days after Trump reversed his position on Taiwan.
Trump’s Conflicts of Interest in the United Kingdom A Scottish golf course expansion demonstrates how flimsy Trump’s attempts to remove conflicts of interest have been at a time when the United States has major foreign policy concerns with the United Kingdom, including fighting terrorism and the U.K.’s exit from the European Union.

Trump’s Conflicts of Interest in Mexico Trump’s anger toward Mexico has been a defining theme of his campaign and presidency, and it may have more to do with a series of business deals gone bad than anything else.
Trump’s Conflicts of Interest in the Philippines President Trump’s support for a president who is a self-proclaimed murderer may stem in part from concern for his projects in Manila.
Trump’s Conflicts of Interest in Cuba Trump talked tough on Cuba, but evidence points to the Trump Organization breaking the Cuba embargo as it explored the possibility of opening a casino and resort on the island.

Trump’s Conflicts of Interest in Qatar President Trump’s views of countries with Muslim majorities are very clearly split by where he has business interests and where he doesn’t.

March 14: Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin suggested Thursday he will protect President Donald Trump’s privacy if he receives a request from House Democrats for Trump’s tax returns.
At a House Ways and Means Committee hearing, Mnuchin was asked whether he would meet a request for Trump’s past tax returns. Chairman Rep. Richard Neal, D-Mass., is expected to formally ask for those as Democrats seek to shed light on Trump’s financial dealings and potential conflicts of interest.
“We will examine the request and we will follow the law … and we will protect the president as we would protect any taxpayer” regarding their right to privacy, Mnuchin said.
Neal is one of only three congressional officials authorized under a rarely used 1924 law to make a written request for anyone’s tax returns to the Treasury secretary. The law says the Treasury chief “shall furnish” the requested material to members of the committee for them to examine behind closed doors. But Mnuchin did not specifically say he would turn them over.
