Donald Trump’s company officials were secretly doing business in Cuba
during the U.S. embargo against the communist island-nation, according
to a Newsweek report. An article by reporter Kurt Eichenwald posted
early Thursday,
citing documents he obtained, says Trump employees visited Havana
during Fidel Castro’s presidency and, despite the clear violation of
federal law, spent at least $68,000 in the country in 1998 without U.S.
government permission. Eichenwald’s report is based on court filings,
company records, and interviews with former Trump executives. According
to Eichenwald, the company funneled the money to Cuba through a U.S.
consulting firm—with Trump’s knowledge—in order to make the trip’s
spending appear legal. |
