6 countries, including Saudi Arabia, have spent more than 700,000 dollars in Trump’s hotel.
The American network “CNN” revealed in a report that 6 countries, including Saudi Arabia, have spent more than 700,000 dollars in Trump’s hotel with the aim of influencing Washington’s policies in the past years.
The American news channel “CNN” announced that six foreign countries, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, spent more than 700,000 dollars in the former US President Donald Trump’s hotel in Washington, during the first two years of his stay in the White House.
According to the report of “Al-Mayadeen” network website, CNN mentioned in its report: The newly obtained documents indicate that these foreign countries have paid directly to the companies owned by the former American president in an unprecedented process.
The US network added: What Democrats are saying on the House Oversight Committee raises new questions about potential efforts by the six countries to influence Trump through spending at his companies and during his time in the White House.
According to CNN media reports, these six countries are China, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Malaysia, and the United Arab Emirates.
According to this network, 250,000 dollars from Malaysia, more than 280,000 dollars from Qatar, more than 90,000 dollars from the Saudis, and more than 74,000 dollars from the UAE were spent on the Trump Hotel.
In addition, lobbyists and other companies with ties to foreign governments have poured tens of thousands of additional funds into Trump properties in Washington.
The network said there was no evidence that foreign spending at Trump’s hotel directly influenced US policy. But some have argued that Trump’s stays and meetings with foreign leaders at the hotel have coincided with major foreign policy events, including the Qatar blockade meetings in 2017.
