I am writing to express deep concern over troubling developments involving the Trump Organization and U.S. trade negotiations with Vietnam. Recent reports reveal that the Trump family business and its local partners received approval from the Vietnamese government for a $1.5 billion luxury development project shortly after tariff negotiations with Washington. This project reportedly includes 5-star hotels, golf courses, and luxury residences, and was approved just last week—despite Vietnam being targeted for one of the highest U.S. tariff rates under President Trump’s “Liberation Day” plan. The Trump administration has since delayed these tariffs for Vietnam by 90 days. In parallel, Eric Trump is reportedly scheduled to meet Ho Chi Minh City officials about a potential skyscraper project, raising further questions. These events suggest an alarming overlap between private business interests and U.S. foreign policy. The situation is compounded by reports that Vietnam may offer favorable conditions to Starlink, owned by Elon Musk, a known political ally of President Trump, as part of ongoing trade negotiations. Such a scenario appears to represent a possible abuse of public office for private gain and raises legitimate concerns about the integrity of U.S. trade policy. I urge you to: Call for a congressional investigation into whether any laws or ethical guidelines were violated. Support stronger legislation to prevent the blending of personal financial interests with public diplomatic responsibilities. Ensure full transparency in trade negotiations, especially when personal or corporate ties may influence outcomes. This situation undermines public trust and must be addressed with urgency. I appreciate your attention to this critical matter and look forward to your action.
