During Donald Trump's presidency, his refusal to divest from global businesses resulted in thousands of conflicts of interest. As he heads into a potential second term, experts predict that these conflicts may escalate, potentially compromising national security and displacing the interests of the American people. Organizations like CREW warn that Trump's administration normalizes a disregard for ethics, raising alarms about the implications of his entangled business dealings, particularly with foreign nations like Saudi Arabia. The potential for personal gain amidst these complexities is a pressing concern.
During his first term as president, Trump declined to divest his global businesses, leading to more than 3,400 conflicts of interest, as counted in 2020.
Many of the Trump Organization's overseas business ventures that represented conflicts of interest in 2016 remain so: hotels, buildings, golf courses.
