Trump Organization Pressuring Foreign Delegations To Hold Events At DC Hotel

The Trump Organization, which is currently inseparable from the Trump administration, is apparently pressuring foreign delegations to now hold events at the new Trump International Hotel in Washington DC. ThinkProgress is reporting that the government of Kuwait was pressured by a member of the Trump Organization to move its National Day celebration originally scheduled for the Four Seasons in DC to Trump’s hotel. According to ThinkProgress, “A source tells ThinkProgress that the Kuwaiti embassy, which has regularly held the event at the Four Seasons in Georgetown, abruptly canceled its reservation after members of the Trump Organization pressured the ambassador to hold the event at the hotel owned by the president-elect…ThinkProgress was also able to review documentary evidence confirming the source’s account.”
