Before taking office, Trump tried to develop a multimillion dollar hotel and golf project in Ukraine
In 2006, Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump traveled to Ukraine to meet with government officials about building a multimillion dollar hotel and golf course in the country. Two years later, Trump Jr. was back to meet with developers.
“President Trump’s foreign policy decisions call into serious question whether he’s looking out for the American people or his own wallet,” said Rep. Pramila Jayapal, , a member of the House Judiciary Committee, which is jointly conducting the House’s impeachment inquiry. “I wish my name was Hunter Biden,” Trump Jr. said recently on Fox News. “I could go abroad and make millions off my father's presidency. I’d be a really rich guy.”
After winning the presidency, Trump ignored calls to fully separate himself from the Trump Organization, which is composed of more than 500 businesses but is not required to publicly release financial data. The president still owns his business but has placed his holdings in a trust designed to hold assets for his benefit. He can receive money from the trust at any time without the public’s knowledge.
Yevhen Chervonenko, then the Ukraine minister of transportation, was quoted in 2005 as saying Trump’s expected financial contribution was estimated to be $500 million.
