Trump family not banning foreign deals

As Donald Trump began his first presidential term eight years ago, the Trump Organization issued an ethics agreement that said it would halt any new international real estate deals. That pledge is missing from the company's latest agreement, media outlets report.

The Trump family only agrees to "no new transactions with foreign governments" in its ethics pledge released Friday, The New York Times reports. Ethics lawyers told the newspaper the agreement is insufficient, pointing to the company's plan to host a golf tournament in April at its Trump National Doral resort in Miami. The event, sponsored by LIV Golf, a new league created and financed by the Saudi government, will generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue, per The Times.
