A Few More Trump Conflicts

Well, not really new conflicts, just new revelations about conflicts already existing that people may not have known about.

Trump has a small investment ($15,000 to $50,000, down from $500,000 to $1 million last year) in Energy Transfer Partners, owners of the Dakota Access Pipeline, scene of ongoing (and sometimes violent) demonstrations. He said a couple of days ago that he supports the pipeline construction.

Trump has an investment of between $100,000 and $250,000 in United Technologies Corp., the parent company of Carrier, where Trump recently, in a very high-profile manner, brokered a deal whereby the Indiana company was given a $7 million tax break.

Trump has a financial interest in Taiwan, according to an article at Shanghaiist.com:
A representative from the Trump Organization paid a visit to Taoyuan in September, expressing interest in the city's Aerotropolis, a large-scale urban development project aimed at capitalizing on Taoyuan's status as a transport hub for East Asia, Taiwan News reports.With the review process for the Aerotropolis still underway, Taoyuan's mayor referred to the subject of the meeting as mere investment speculation. Other reports indicate that Eric Trump, the president-elect's second son and executive vice president of the Trump Organization, will be coming to Taoyuan later this year to discuss the potential business opportunity.
Where doesn't this guy have his hooks?
