Ivanka Trump's Chinese trademarks raise questions about potential conflicts of interest-2
Chinese trademarks issued to
Ivanka Trump's fashion brand
in May are raising questions
over whether the first
daughter is receiving special
treatment from a foreign government or is simply the
victim of bad timing. The Chinese government
awarded Ivanka Trump's fashion brand seven new
trademarks, according to
online records, just as President Donald Trump pledged to revive Chinese
telecom giant ZTE. The
trademarks, for items such as
baby blankets, bamboo crafts
and coffins, include products
that the brand sells as well as items that it seeks to prevent
others from selling with
Trump branding. On Friday, the Trump
administration reportedly told Congress it had reached a
deal with the Chinese
government to lift a ban preventing ZTE from buying
American goods if it paid a
penalty for violating American
sanctions on North Korea and
Iran.Source:CNBC
