CHINA’S RISE Trump’s financial records
WORRIES US
rise and influence of mega Chinese
businesses in the Caribbean and neighboring
South America, warning about
China’s sinister intentions when doling
out loans and other forms of aid.
“China operates very differently. No
state-owned operation can beat the
quality of the products and services
of American private companies. We’ve
watched the Chinese Communist Party
invest in countries, and it all seems
great at the front end and then it all
comes falling down when the political
costs connected to that become clear.
We’ll show up, we’ll bring capital, we’ll
bring resources. We’ll often bring technological
capabilities that are much
needed to develop resources, develop
infrastructure for your country, but we
don’t do so with political strings tied to
them. We don’t operate the way other
regimes do, who might show up with
money and then demand political retribution,
or worse yet, engage in activity
that is corrupt.”
In Guyana he signed a framework
agreement covering trade and investment
with a particular eye on opportunities
that will flow from massive oil
finds in Guyana and neighboring Suriname.

American businesses will dominate the
opportunities from Guyana’s fledgling
petro sector with its more than 20 successful
oil wells drilled so far, most with
the lightest and sweetest crude found
anywhere in the world.
From The Bahamas, Belize and
Jamaica in the north of the Caribbean
Community as well as the Eastern
islands in the middle to Guyana
and Suriname, Chinese businesses are
flourishing, building massive road networks,
airports, paving runways and
building other massive infrastructural
projects. The Chinese had moved in
quietly during the period when the US
had boasted and bragged about being
more focused on Middle Eastern wars,
chasing Osama Bin Laden and trying to
dominate Afghanistan.

Court ruled that Attorney General
James will be given access to
documents withheld by the Trump
Organization, including requested
financial records related to the
Seven Springs Estate in Westchester
County, New York.
Justice Engoron also ruled that
Eric Trump can no longer delay
being interviewed by the OAG and
cannot delay testimony for six or
more months, as he attempted to
do, citing his desire to campaign for
his father’s re-election campaign.
The court found that the upcoming
presidential election has no
bearing on the timetable of the
investigation at hand — as the
Trump Organization falsely argued
— and ruled that Eric Trump will
have to appear for an interview
under oath with the OAG no later
than Oct. 7.
“Justice and the rule of law prevailed
today,” James said. “We will
immediately move to ensure that
Donald Trump and the Trump
Organization comply with the
court’s order and submit financial
records related to our investigation.
“Further, Eric Trump will no
longer be able to delay his interview
and will be sitting down with investigators
in my office no later than
Oct.7,” she added. “To be clear, no
entity or individual is allowed to
dictate how or when our investigation
will proceed or set the parameters
of a lawful investigation.
“The court’s order today makes
clear that no one is above the law,
not even an organization or an
individual with the name Trump,”
continued James, who opened an
investigation into Donald Trump
and the Trump Organization in
2019, after Trump’s former lawyer,
Michael Cohen, testified before
Congress that Trump’s annual
financial statements inflated the
values of Trump’s assets to obtain
favorable terms for loans and insurance
coverage, while also deflating
the value of other assets to reduce
real estate taxes.
At dispute are subpoenas which
would provide the OAG with thousands
of documents and testimony
from multiple witnesses regarding
several, specific Trump Organization
properties and transactions,
James said.
Last month’s motion to compel
was submitted under New York
state’s Executive Law § 63(12),
which gives the OAG broad powers
to investigate fraud and illegality.
The OAG has reached no conclusions
in this matter, and the investigation
remains ongoing.
