Investigate Trump Org's foreign deals, prevent conflicts of interest

The Trump Organization's decision to pursue business deals abroad, including the proposed Trump Tower in Bucharest, raises serious ethical concerns about potential conflicts of interest with the presidency. While in office, former President Trump vowed to avoid new foreign deals to prevent inappropriate entanglement between his administration's policies and his private business interests. However, the organization's recent ethics statement removes those restrictions. This blatant reversal demands Congressional oversight. Elected officials have a duty to ensure the presidency is never compromised by personal financial motives that undermine the national interest. There must be a thorough investigation into whether any actions or decisions made during the previous administration unfairly advantaged the Trump Organization, and mechanisms put in place to prevent such conflicts going forward. The American people deserve full transparency and accountability from their leaders. The presidency should be a position of public service, not self-enrichment. I urge Congress to uphold these principles and take immediate action to examine these concerning developments and promote ethical governance.
