The upcoming U.S. election is being keenly watched by world leaders who have looked to President Donald Trump for favor and friendship, and who share his political ethos.

President Donald Trump’s real estate firm has earned millions as its hotels and resorts served as political backrooms for those seeking favors from the administration.
The Trump Organization’s hotels and resorts received $12 million from 60 patrons with business before the government during the first two years of Trump’s presidency, a New York Times investigation found.

Though Dr. Michael Ryan of the World Health Organization (WHO) declined during a recent special session to directly agree with the assessment that Donald J.

Instead, Ryan made a point to remind those listening that the oft-repeated health precautions—i.e. wearing a
President Trump’s positive COVID-19 test will likely create substantial turbulence within financial markets. We should expect much higher than normal volatility in equity prices and possibly interest rates while the president and the first lady quarantine, because their COVID test results create new economic and political uncertainty, and uncertainty almost always roils financial markets.

LONDON/NEW YORK (Reuters) – Investors already skittish ahead of U.S. elections in November now have another thing to worry about: the president’s health.
News of Donald Trump’s positive coronavirus test on Friday triggered a decline in oil prices and stocks.
U.S. equities cut some of their losses by the end of the volatile session as investors digested the news and weighed the prospect that
Let’s call President Donald Trump’s election-time economic sanctions against Cuba what they truly are: a political play to run up the margins of his Cuban American vote in Florida.
No hotel stays. No bringing home all the rum and cigars you can carry, Trump has mandated.
But with little U.S. travel to the island in the era of COVID-19, his prohibitions are meaningless. There isn’t much revenue to take away
