WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump spent a decade unsuccessfully pursuing projects in China, operating an office there during his first run for president and forging a partnership with a major government-controlled company,China is one of only three foreign nations — the others are Britain and Ireland — where Trump maintains a bank account, according to a Times analysis of the president’s tax records.

“No deals, transactions or other business activities ever materialized and, since 2015, the office has remained inactive,” Garten said. “Though the bank account remains open, it has never been used for any other purpose.”China continues to be an issue in the 2020 presidential campaign, from the president’s trade war to his barbs over the origin of the coronavirus pandemic.

As most business men do

If a missle don’t strike, well!

accountclosed How many business men and women had deals in China? madeinchina

As a Rep I now am sick of Trump he has to go.

Difference is Trump wasn’t getting PAID by China but was making business investments not being bought!!

So what AP ...do you even understand the term national security threat? Show me some of that in your useless article

So who’s the liar Trump wins again liar of the century

Yup

Just lock him up.

He was a business man!! What don’t you idiots realize? He wasn’t and still isn’t a politician! Why wouldn’t he try to pursue a business in the world’s second best economy? He hasn’t done that since becoming POTUS!!

He does business with China, Russia and the Saudis.

There is the difference. Trump was a business man trying to do business. The Biden's family was trying to use Joe's position in the USA Government to their advantage(pocket book)! There is a difference!!!

Once a liar always a liar

Show the proof. He hasn’t earned a dime in four years so show the proof. He gave up billions to serve America while Joe Biden took billions from the Americans and sold Americans out and spent our money to make himself rich. Biden’s a traitor!

Doing business in China is a big difference from being VP and your kid accessing his fathers office to make millions, or, did Biden set up his son so he could line his pockets instead.

This is called DEFLECTION. The MSM is a corrupt clown show!!!

Trump keep talking please. I love all this new news coming out about u. U try to lie on Biden along with bullying now it is coming out on u Trump. The stuff about Trump is true unlike his lies about Biden.

Keep trying ap you'll never find $hit

Ok now do Joe and hunter. Trump was a private citizen and wasn’t in the senate.

This is nothing more than political distraction. To all those voting for Biden, wake up! Your candidate and more precisely your political party has been compromised by the CCP.

Funny how the media arm of the Democratic Party - MSNBC - is quick to publish news in regards to President Trump's so call secret banks accounts in China. Yet for the past week they have been silent on the newly released texts and emails found on Hunter Biden's laptop.

No deals, transactions or other business activities ever materialized and, since 2015, the office has remained inactive,” Garten told the Times. ''Though the bank account remains open, it has never been used for any other purpose.''

That’s kinda what businessmen do right?

TrumpChinaBankAccount

* shocking *

Ignore the polls and make sure you vote for Biden. Every registered voter needs to do their duty and vote nazi trump and the corrupt republicans out of office in November. When nazi trump and the corrupt republicans lose the American people win.

Omg. He opened a bank account!! How dare he. He belongs in jail!!!! SpeakerPelosi should impeach him again! But of course JoeBiden sold his office for access to China & msm doesn’t care. BidenCrimeFamiily

He wasn't in goverment geniuses

Posture with China? The guy was taking money. He literally went from earning 300K to 8 million. Citizens are tired of the corrupt politicians and corrupt news media.

No deals, transactions or other business activities ever materialized and, since 2015... Lol the art of no deal despite all the chocolate 🍫 cake 🎂 he gave Xi.

Trump also received Billons of dollars of loans from China which are coming due pretty soon, loans that no other banks would have given him.

Legitimately.

Here comes the startling revelation of Trump's grudge against China.

What about hunter Biden emails

New York Times: Tax records show Trump maintains Chinese bank accountPresident Trump's tax records show he's pursued expansive business projects in China for years and even maintains a Chinese bank account, NYT reports, disclosures that deal a blow to the President's efforts to paint Joe Biden as the one who's soft on China Oh now that we have the dirt on Biden and China, now the liberal media is going to try to create something with Trump and China? So damn predictable Even if your headline is true, you have no idea what being a real estate developer is like. You can do business in other countries and not be 'soft' on them. If there's a personal advantage for your personal business (i.e. developing in China), then why not?
