Trump used call from Argentine president to push business deal — report
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Talking Points Memo news site reports that Donald Trump used his position as president-elect to try to push forward a project in Argentina, the second instance of a seeming abuse of power that could raise serious conflict of interest allegations.
According to the report, citing the Argentine press, Trump used a congratulatory call with Argentine President Mauricio Macri to ask him to clear red tape holding up a Trump project in Buenos Aires.
Last week, it emerged that Trump, who is supposed to put his assets in a blind trust, but whose children may be involved with both running the trust and statecraft, met with Indian business partners about a project there in the days after the election.
