Trump's $20M Loan from North Korea linked company

So, the Trump org had a loan with a South Korean company, which they paid off 5 months into his term, but the letters to Un were for reduced interest on a loan from a South Korean firm?

Pretty bad start to the week for the daily Trump hits. Speaking as someone who doesn’t care much for Trump, I can confidently say you can do way better than this.

 

Is there a reason that you're talking about South Korea when the article mentions North Korea?

 

There is a connection:

 

Umm, maybe because the company in question is a South Korean company?

 

Ok, so a company headquartered in South Korea allowed the North Korean government to run it? lol

 

That’s the crux of the rights arguments against US companies operating in China and extends to Tik Tok here even though the company says user data is siloed in the US

 

But but hunter's laptop!!!!

 

Daewoo, the company that Trump had the loan with, is a South Korean company. They according to this link have some affiliation with N Korea. I am unaware of this.

 

That does business in North Korea and may have very well made concessions to the North Korean government to do so. I'm not saying that Trump or the company did anything improper although it does create the appearance of impropriety.

 

There are many perfectly legitimate concerns to have with Donald Trump. This one is a reach.

 

Is this the same Daewoo that used to make shitbox import cars? Please be yes

 

You may be right. But even assuming the debt and satisfaction of same were lawful and ethical, the article alleges that the information was "hidden." IF that is true, it brings its own questions.

 

No more absurd than the narrative that Hunter Biden may have arranged a meeting between Joe Biden and a Chinese businessman in 2018 and said meeting constituted an improper influence on US policy with respect to China considering that there is no evidence that the meeting actually took place and back in 2018 the Republicans controlled the presidency and both Houses of Congress. Waiting for the "Off-topic" rating although it's an analogy that raises a valid point.

 

Yes. They are a huge conglomerate in South Korea. Also, well known corrupt organization.

 

Have to agree - at this point anyway - it's much Daewoo about nothing.

 

I’m pretty sure I had a cheap Daewoo VCR way back in the day.

Their wiki page says a corruption scandal pushed them into bankruptcy years ago. So the Daewoo we are thinking of might not technically exist anymore. Also sounds exactly the sort of company Trump would do business with!

 

Sounds like you are saying two wrongs make a right. If there are posters here making such loose assumptions/connections with Biden, they shouldn’t be doing that either. The way to combat absurdity is to not to normalize it.

 

I might imagine the CIA has a file on Daewoo and knows exactly what level of connection they have to N. Korea. and likely know who paid off the 20M loan. I also imagine the DOJ would solicit the same information if warranted.
