Do you think this is wrong? In America its considered a conflict of interest for Trump to do so, according to the constitution.

WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump?s business receives direct payments from a registered foreign agent funded by the government of Abu Dhabi.

Trump has not sold his business interests, instead turning over management control to his sons, a move that ensures he will benefit any time any of his companies benefit.

The Abu Dhabi authority is not the only foreign government-backed organization paying Trump. Other tenants of Trump Tower include the Industrial & Commercial Bank of China and Qatar Airways, both of which are owned by their respective governments. In addition, The New York Times reported that Trump owes money to the Bank of China, another foreign government-owned entity.

The U.S. headquarters for the Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority is located on the 22nd floor of Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue ? just four floors below the president?s penthouse apartment. The authority, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment, promotes tourism to Abu Dhabi, which is part of the United Arab Emirates. It has been registered as a foreign agent with the U.S. Department of Justice since 2012.

?Normally, the fact that a foreign agent ? a registered foreign agent ? was paying money to the President of the United States would create blaring headlines around the world, but so vast and scandalous are the President?s conflicts of interest that it hardly raises an eyebrow,? said Norm Eisen, the former top ethics adviser to President Barack Obama.

President George W. Bush?s ethics lawyer Richard Painter ? and constitutional law professors, filed a federal lawsuit Monday alleging that Trump is in violation of the Constitution for his acceptance of payments from foreign government entities. Under the Constitution?s Emoluments Clause, the president is forbidden from receiving gifts or payments from foreign governments and foreign government-owned corporations.
