US daily raises questions over Trump's meeting with Indian partners
A top American daily has raised questions over the recent meeting between Donald Trump and his Indian business partners, saying the President-elect could use his position to advance his business interests.
New York: A top American daily has raised questions over the recent meeting between Donald Trump and his Indian business partners, saying the President-elect could use his position to advance his business interests.
"Washington ethics lawyers said that a meeting with Indian real estate partners, regardless of what was discussed, raised conflict of interest questions for Mr Trump, who could be perceived as using the presidency to advance his business interests," The New York Times said in a news article yesterday.
Three Indian executives ? Sagar Chordia, Atul Chordia and Kalpesh Mehta ? had met Trump in New York last week.
The three said that they have discussed expanding their partnership with the Trump Organisation now that Trump is President-elect.
"It was not a formal meeting of any kind," Breanna Butler, a spokeswoman for the Trump Organisation told The New York Times, which has been at loggerheads with Trump for the past several months during which Trump has accused the daily of negative reporting about him.
"There may be people for whom this looks O K. But for a large part of the American public, it is not going to be O K. His role as President-elect should dictate that someone else handles business matters," Robert L Walker, former chief counsel of the Senate Ethics Committee, who advises corporations and members of Congress on government ethics issues told the daily.
