“Very worrying”: Trump preservation of gifts in overseas unprecedented, experts warn | Donald Trump

Former lawyers of the White House, diplomatic protocol officers and foreign matters have informed the Guardian that Donald Trump's receipt of gifts and targeted investments in overseas was “unprecedented” because the US foreign policy is new under a Pay-for-Access code, the past administrations with a characteristic Trumpian excess in the evidence in Shadow.

The openness to foreign largles was fully equipped this week because the US President was celebrated in the Gulf States during his first big diplomatic trip abroad during his first big diplomatic journey abroad.

But quite often the end result also benefited Trump himself. According to press estimates, the fortune of his family has fallen by more than $ 3 billion, and the reported advantages of cryptocurrencies and other investment agreements such as plans for new family properties with Trump brands can be far larger. Shops for billions were introduced by business partners near Trump, which means that their political support for the White House can lead to lucrative contracts abroad.

“When we negotiate with other countries, the concern is that our negotiating position will change if someone does a favor to the President of the United States or a gift to the US Ethican Walt in the administration of George W Bush, Richard Painter.

“No matter whether it is trying to solve the Russia Ukraine war or the Middle East or something else. You know that the impression is given that the position of the United States can be influenced and even bought.”

Others argue that the message sent by the White House is that American foreign policy is sold to the highest bidder.

“Trump has created a sign for sale in front of the White House in front of the White House,” said Norm Eisen, the executive director of the Legal Advocacy Group State Democracy Defenders Fund and an “Ethics Zar of the White House” and ambassador in the Czech Republic under Barack Obama. “Of course you will see Qatar and the United Arab Emirates as an offered war. Qatar says:” I give you a 400 million dollar aircraft “and the VAE says:” Hold my beer, I will give your crypto company $ 2 billion $. “

In the event of a particularly striking incident this week, Qatar offered to give the US Department of Defense a $ 400-MIO.

The aircraft has become a lightning rod of us Democrats, and critics have argued that it violates the emolutionary clause of the constitution that prohibits the president of receiving gifts from foreign companies.

Trump had described the plane as a “big gesture” of Qatar and said that it would be “stupid” for him not to accept the gift. A democratic legislator had called the plane a “flying palace”, and even die -hard Maga supporters such as the commentators Laura Loomer and Ben Shapiro have publicly criticized it.

The painter suggested that King George III. George Washington resembles a copy of the Royal StagoCoach for his application. “You think the founders have not considered that a bribe?” he said.

However, the golf states have offered further incentives, including an investment of $ 2 billion from a fund controlled by the VAE in a stable coin linked with Trump, which could encourage the president to design foreign policy in favor of Abu Dhabi.

Advice that was sent to the Democrats of Congress this week and seen by The Guardian said: “President Trump and the Trump family moved at an exciting speed to benefit from a massive crypto fraud from the American people.”

The gifts and in particular the potential gift of a jet have led to a series of denunciations on the Capitol Hill in order to build dynamics for a legislative advance.

“This is not America first. This is not what he promised to the American people. This is Trump first,” said Chris Murphy, a democratic senator from Connecticut. “He is ready to put our nation's security in danger of taking unconstitutional bribes, just so that he can fly luxury aircraft in gold panels in gold panels that were given to him by foreign governments.”

But is it illegal? Since Qatar would give the Jet to the Ministry of Defense, some experts have announced that he may not violate the emrubs or other laws directly, even if Trump would use the plane in office.

“I have never seen it before,” said Scott Amey, General Counsel of the project on state supervision, a non -profit state watchdog group based in Washington. “Is it allowed? I'm still uncertain.”

Last administrations had been conflicts of interest from Trump. The former ethics consultants of the White House described crises, such as a golf state, a national security advisor to present a Rolex, or when the Boston Red Sox tried to give the chief of staff of the White House a baseball bat signed by all players (the addressee had to pay its estimated market value, said the painter). Eisen said he banned Obama to refinance the mortgage to his house in Chicago because he influences the market.

“The status quo said no because it is an actual and obvious conflict of interest and could endanger our domestic and foreign politics,” said Amey. “There is certainly no sniff test for many Americans.”

The lavish gifts and other investments come, since Trump is redesigning America's politics in the Middle East, jumping Israel and turning to the Gulf States in a number of shops that could benefit both sides. And Trump's family and other consultants such as Steve Witkoff are closely involved with interests in the Gulf States.

“When the first Trump government came in, I saw that the people in the Golf said:” Finally, an American government that we understand. He sends us his son -in -law to speak to us, “said Dr.” It is an astonishing change in American norms … The idea that Trump Family hikes private business and US government hand in hand. “

While potential gifts such as a jet cannot be hidden, the potential to move billions of dollars of cryptocurrency, secretly wax dogs, the political opposition and other foreign observers deeply worried. “We speak of billions of dollars, almost infinite money that can be paid for by everyone,” said a high -ranking European diplomat. A little-known company bound in China without revenue last year bought $ 300 million for a Trump-Meme coin this week, which brought further concerns about the dark foreign allowance into US politics.

The Senate's Democrats have asked to rewrite the Genius Act, and the legislation that they say, which they say, would provide for a long time to ban so-called stable coins in order to prohibit it from performance. “If the congress wants to charge the use of stablecoins and other cryptocurrencies, it has to make it more difficult for criminals, terrorists and foreign opponents to take advantage of the financial system and to have endangered our national security,” said the memo.

The flood of foreign money has left former officials who carefully pursued the failure of gifts and other goods from the foreign government.

The rules can be “annoying and stupid, but it is what the good ones separate from evil, since it is corruption and good government,” said Rufus Gifford, a former protocol manager of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which also pursues gifts to US officials from foreign governments. “And I think that Trump has no respect for the institutions that have been set up for a very specific purpose, namely to eradicate corruption.

“It is very, very worrying that a President of the United States could be able to benefit from the office in which he stops,” he continued. “And that is something that should never be able to pass. And it's really extraordinary.”
