The Trump Organization's new ethics agreement features measures echoing commitments made eight years ago, including appointing an outside ethics lawyer and maintaining a trust for Mr. Trump’s assets. However, it allows for new international real estate deals, significantly differing from previous commitments, sparking criticism. Ethics lawyers argue the agreement is insufficient, noting that profits from hosting a golf tournament sponsored by the Saudi-backed LIV Golf raise significant constitutional concerns over foreign influence on the president's finances.
The Trump family is not pledging to halt any new international real estate deals, which contrasts sharply with their approach eight years ago, fueling suspicion regarding potential conflicts of interest. Critics highlight that the newly proposed ethics measures may not adequately address the complexities surrounding foreign government profits and transactions potentially benefitting the president.
