Republican casino magnate Adelson cautioned Trump on trade war with China: WSJ
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A top Republican donor warned President Donald Trump in a phone call last month that his escalating trade war with China could hurt his re-election prospects, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday, citing people familiar with the call.
Casino magnate Sheldon Adelson discussed with Trump the broader implications of the U.S.-China trade war rather than the impact on Adelson’s business interests, one of the people familiar with the call said, according to the newspaper report.
Adelson, a major donor for Republican election campaigns, is the founder and chief executive officer of Las Vegas Sands Corp (LVS.N), a casino company that does business in the Chinese territory of Macao.
The White House did not have an immediate comment on the report. A representative of Las Vegas Sands Corp did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
