Donald Trump failed to disclose a $19.8m loan from a company with historical ties to North Korea, while he was the US President, according to a new report.

Documents obtained by the New York Attorney General, and reported by Forbes, on Sunday indicate a previously unreported loan owed by Trump to Daewoo, the South Korean conglomerate.

Daewoo was the only South Korean company allowed to operate a business in North Korea during the mid-1990s.

Forbes revealed that Trump’s relationship with Daewoo is at least 25 years old. At one point, Daewoo partnered with Trump on a development project near the United Nations headquarters in New York City, Trump World Tower.

Trump and Daewoo continued to do business together, including using Trump’s name on six South Korea-based properties from 1999 to 2007, according to the magazine.

The outlet reports that the debt in question “stems from an agreement Trump struck to share some of his licensing fees with Daewoo”.

According to documents reviewed by Forbes, the $19.8m balance remained the same from 2011 to 2016. Five months into Trump’s presidency, the balance dropped to $4.3m, according to paperwork that showcased Trump’s finances as of 30 June 2017.

Soon after, “Daewoo was bought out of its position on July 5, 2017,” the documents said, without disclosing who satisfied the debt.

Forbes reports that even though the loan was reported on the Trump Organization’s internal documents, it was not disclosed on the former President’s public financial disclosure reports. Under disclosure laws, Trump was required to submit the documents to federal officials during his presidential campaign and after he became president.

In 2016, Trump’s chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, said that Trump had disclosed all debts related to companies that Trump had a 100% stake in.

Despite the apparent gap in disclosures, Trump may not have violated any laws, though the existence of the debt still could have posed a conflict of interest.

While President, Trump bragged about his relationship with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, saying in 2018: “He likes me, I like him. We get along” and that “we fell in love”.

The two leaders met in person, but the relationship came to nought.

Meanwhile, on Monday, jurors began deliberating in the Trump Organization tax fraud trial in New York, in which the company is accused of operating a criminal scheme that allegedly involved fraud and tax evasion.

Seeing how Hamas supporters are being welcomed in Western countries, had me wondering about the opposite: how were Western people treated in Gaza?

Here are some of the findings:

2004:

4 French civilians and their Palestinian colleague, were kidnapped by the Abu-Reish Brigades.

3 foreign church volunteers, a British, an Irishman and an American, were kidnapped by a Palestinian terrorist.

2005: 

3 British civilians, Kate Burton and her parents, were kidnapped by the Brigades of the Mujahideen. After their release, the terrorist who held them captive was warmly welcomed by a Palestinian crowd (including several Hamas terrorists). 

Dion Nissenbaum (an American Journalist), and Adam Pletts (a British photographer), were kidnapped by a Palestinian terrorist.

A Dutch school principal and an Austrian deputy were kidnapped by a Palestinian terrorist. 

2006:

Fox News channel journalists, Olaf Wiig and Steve Centanni, were kidnapped by the Holy Jihad Brigades. They were released after being forced to convert to Islam.

Two French journalists and one from South Korea, were kidnapped in Gaza by Palestinian terrorists.

2 Italian ICRC workers, Claudio Moroni and Gianmarco Onorato, a Palestinian terrorist.

2007:

A Peruvian AFP journalist, Jaime Razuri, was kidnapped by Palestinian terrorists, and held in captivity for a week.

A BBC reporter, Alan Johnston, was kidnapped by The Army of Islam, and held in captivity for more than 100 days.

2011: 

The pro-Palestinian activist Vittorio Arrigoni, was kidnapped and executed by The Brigade of the Gallant Companion of the Prophet Mohammed bin Muslima. 

A note for the LGBTQ community: in 2021, Forbes piblished an article ranking the most dangerous place for LGBTQ to travel. Regarding Gaza and the West Bank, they stated: “In the Palestinian territories of Gaza and the West Bank, the anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment is taken very seriously, with homosexual acts resulting in up to ten years in prison”.

Do you think that some of the Western Hamas supporters would at least stop supporting them, knowing all of that?
