Newsweek: Trump Org. Vast Business Network, Including Ties to Russia

HeadlineSep 14, 2016

Meanwhile, a Newsweek investigation is raising questions about the Trump Organization and potential conflicts of interests that would arise if Trump became president. The investigation reveals the Trump Organization is a vast financial network that stretches from New York City to India, Ukraine, China, Brazil, Argentina, Turkey and Russia, where the organization is connected to Russian mining, banking and real estate billionaire Vladimir Potanin, who himself is closely tied to the Russian government. Trump’s frequent praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin has already sparked concern among national security experts about U.S. foreign policy under a possible Trump presidency. The Newsweek investigation concludes, “If Donald Trump wins this election and his company is not immediately shut down or forever severed from the Trump family, the foreign policy of the United States of America could well be for sale.”
