Trump promised no new business deals with foreign governments. He lied.
On January 10, 2025, President Trump released an "ethics agreement" detailing how he would handle his personal business interests while in the White House.

PSA: When media reports on President Trump's expected invocation of Alien Enemies Act, it would be good to remind the reader/listener:
The Act also includes summary deportation of permanent legal residents and other immigrants who are lawfully present as well.
It's that extreme an emergency power.
