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 Georgia Georgia may be trying to give
Trump properties special favors as the country deals with a lingering
Russian-supported separatist movement.
Trump’s Conflicts of Interest in Canada A troubled Trump project in
Toronto links to a large and unexplained infusion of funds from a Russian bank
suspected of espionage and efforts to interfere with the U.S. presidential
election.
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 Turkey Trump’s national security
adviser may have pushed to delay a key military offensive against the Islamic
State because it would upset Turkey, without revealing that he was on Turkey’s
payroll throughout the campaign.

is linked to multiple Israeli investors currently under criminal investigation.
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. Because of his friendship with a senior Qatari
business leader and interest in pursuing deals in that country, Trump may be
taking a soft line on Qatar.
Trump’s Conflicts of Interest in Ireland President Trump’s battles
over his golf course in Ireland and his frequent references to these disputes
even since becoming president show that Trump’s private profits are never far
from his mind.

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.
