Question

The video about Kleptocracies mentions concerns about the US becoming a kleptocracy. Does this title fit the US?

Short answer question in political scenice.

Answer 1

In some ways, the US is turning into a kleptocracy. The actions of our current president, Donald Trump, are particularly noteworthy in this context. The president regularly spends weekends at his family’s properties. The Trump hotel in Washington has become a magnet for lobbyists and foreign diplomats. Furthermore, the president has business interests in at least 20 countries, including Turkey, the Philippines, Ireland, Scotland and India. There is a growing sense of uncertainty whether his decisions are motivated by his policy aims or his financial interests.
