I don’t understand why so many on this site are apologists for Trump. You have access to the news just like everyone else. How do you draw these conclusions about your hero? My President right or wrong doesn’t get it. They have a ton of proof that Trump has enriched himself greatly since becoming president. This China deal is the icing on the cake. Trump is now worried about a Chinese company’s jobs? Nobody on the right has a problem with that? Not even mentioning the 500 million. If you righties would quit watching Hannity you may learn what a crook this President is and how corrupt this whole administration is. Trump is an embarrassment to the country. If you want Fake news then turn to FOX.

If the imbecile trump levies trade sanctions against countries its going to get very expensive if trump then feels the need to compensate these countries for any resulting job losses. When are people going to wake up and see how clueless and incompetent this political novice is.

Not to worry. All the sanctioned country has to do is invest in a Trump Org. property and away goes the sanction. Simple.

The other thing to note about this loan is that the resort features a golf course. President Xi HATES golf, He has been shutting them down in China.

Default What a difference a year makes!

This was one year ago...the US govt. position on ZTE:





ZTE receives record $1.2 billion fine for breaking US sanctions


ZTE, China’s second-largest maker of telecoms equipment, has been hit by a record fine from the US government. The company has pled guilty to charges of violating US sanctions against both Iran and North Korea, and will pay up to $1.2 billion — the largest criminal fine in a US sanctions case to date.

According to the United States Department of Commerce, from 2010 to 2016 ZTE “conspired to evade” America’s embargo against Iran. The Chinese firm sold US-made hardware and software to the country to supply its telecommunications infrastructure. ZTE is also charged with making 283 shipments of equipment (including servers and routers) to North Korea, which is also under US trade embargoes. The US government says ZTE officials repeatedly lied to and misled federal investigators over the course of a five-year investigation. A break came when the US seized a laptop belonging to a ZTE lawyer that contained a trove of documents outlining the company’s illegal sales.

“We are putting the world on notice: the games are over,” said billionaire investor and secretary of commerce Wilbur Ross in a statement. “Those who flout our economic sanctions and export control laws will not go unpunished — they will suffer the harshest of consequences.” ZTE faces an immediate fine of $892 million, and is on the hook for a further $300 million in future penalties, dependent on its compliance with the terms of the deal.
