Krishnamoorthi Demands Trump Disclose His and His Family’s China-Linked Financial Interests

May 14, 2026 Press Release WASHINGTON — Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi sent a letter to President Donald Trump on Thursday demanding full public disclosure of any People’s Republic of China (PRC)-linked business dealings, investments, trademarks, licensing agreements, or other financial relationships involving Trump, his family, or senior administration officials as Trump meets with General Secretary Xi Jinping in Beijing. In the letter, Krishnamoorthi warned: "Given the national security and economic stakes in the U.S.-China relationship, the American people deserve confidence that outcomes of the summit and U.S. policy are being conducted solely in the national interest, not influenced by private financial motivations." Krishnamoorthi also noted: "To date, you have not divested from your own multi-billion-dollar business interests or created a blind trust, and though you have reportedly handed daily management of the Trump Organization to your children, you and your family still stand to profit from deals related to your family’s businesses." Krishnamoorthi additionally warned against concessions or policy shifts that could create “even the appearance of personal benefit,” and noted that he is particularly concerned about concessions related to advanced AI chip exports to Beijing, changes in U.S. declaratory policy toward Taiwan, or discussions involving U.S. arms sales to Taiwan. The letter cites congressional findings and public reporting showing that during Trump’s first term, entities tied to the PRC government spent more than $5.5 million at Trump-owned properties and that Trump-affiliated businesses received numerous trademarks and approvals from Chinese authorities while Trump was president. Krishnamoorthi requested that Trump publicly disclose the following information: Any current or recent business dealings, investments, trademarks, or licensing agreements in China involving you, your family, the Trump Organization, or affiliated entities Any pending or recently approved trademarks, permits, or regulatory approvals granted by Chinese authorities to Trump-affiliated entities Any financial interests held by senior administration officials or immediate family members that could present a conflict of interest involving China policy The letter is available here .
