Donald Trump’s overseas dealings include slapping his name on everything from apartment buildings in India to shirts made in China, and few details of his many entanglements have been revealed. Now a group of former U.S. officials is calling on Trump to come clean.
More than 50 former government officials and national security and military figures have signed an open letter to Donald J. Trump, urging him to disclose details of his overseas business investments before Election Day.
The effort was put together by a former acting head of the CIA and a former undersecretary of defense for intelligence —people who should have a pretty good idea just what kind of relationships and commitments represent a problem for the United States.
“Donald Trump still has not revealed to the American public his international business relationships, even as it becomes increasingly clear that his overseas ties could well constitute significant conflicts of interest when it comes to charting U.S. foreign policy,” the letter reads. “This is unprecedented for a candidate for the nation’s highest office. As such, we are calling on Mr. Trump to disclose, in full, the nature of his business relationships overseas — to include specifically who his business partners are and what and where are his foreign investments.”
Donald Trump hasn’t released his taxes or his overseas business arrangements, and his medical data still consists of stunts and nonsense. It’s all part of what makes Donald Trump:
… the most dishonest, most secretive presidential candidate in modern history.
And don't forget ...
A close examination by Newsweek of the Trump Organization, including confidential interviews with business executives and some of its international partners, reveals an enterprise with deep ties to global financiers, foreign politicians and even criminals, although there is no evidence the Trump Organization has engaged in any illegal activities. It also reveals a web of contractual entanglements that could not be just canceled. If Trump moves into the White House and his family continues to receive any benefit from the company, during or even after his presidency, almost every foreign policy decision he makes will raise serious conflicts of interest and ethical quagmires.
