Ivanka Trump's Chinese trademarks raise questions about potential conflicts of interest-3
Critics say the timing of the
approval raises questions
about potential ethical
violations. "As a White House adviser,
Ivanka has represented the
United States at multiple
diplomatic events despite the
potential conflicts her
business interests present," Citizens for Responsibility
and Ethics in Washington
(CREW), a nonprofit good
governance organization,
wrote in its report on the
trademarks. Critics have also seized on
the announcement, also in
May, that a Chinese company
will be building a theme park
in Indonesia featuring Trump- branded properties such as a
hotel and 18-hole golf course. The president's daughter,
who was hired as a White
House advisor shortly after
the president took office,
continues to receive profits
from her brand despite stepping down from her
leadership role in the
organization, according to
CREW. She does not receive a government salary.Source:CNBC
