Another questionable issue

McClatchy recalls that President Trump said that his family business would not engage in any transactions with foreign government entities while he serves as president. But, according to news releases by both companies, Trump’s Dubai partner, DAMAC Properties, awarded a $32-million contract to the Middle East subsidiary of China State Construction Engineering Corporation to build a six-lane road as part of the residential piece of the Trump World Golf Club Dubai project called Akoya Oxygen.

Interestingly, the company was one of several accused by the World Bank of corruption for its role in the bidding process for a roads project in the Philippines and banned in 2009 from World Bank-financed contracts for several years.
