What do you think of children of presidents or sec of commerce cashing in on govt deals? ?
Are you okay with the Trump family continuing to cash in on government deals? Or even the lutnick family? Please see the synopsis and link below
“The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing.
Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees.
The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in.
Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal.
The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals.
The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion.”
I don’t know how to share the gift article without the original X post which shows opinions within the context, but here it is. https://x.com/mikelevin/status/2071290309799989427?s=46&t=fuW3GEgqxbZPjXYsbWeyzw
