Trump's business empire has expanded. Here's where he could profit in his second term.

When Trump returns to the White House, he'll do so with a more sprawling business empire and far fewer promises about how he'll avoid conflicts of interest.
The article from Yahoo Finance discusses how Donald Trump's business empire expanded significantly during his presidency, despite his pledge to avoid new foreign deals to prevent conflicts of interest. Key points include: Trump's businesses earned at least $160 million from foreign governments and entities, with notable revenue from countries like China, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. His company, the Trump Organization, saw an increase in revenue from golf courses, hotels, and real estate, particularly in Indonesia, India, and the Philippines.
