After the violent storm of the Capitol, New York wants to end business relations with the elected US President Donald Trump. “The contracts make it very clear that we have the right to terminate the contract if a company, the management of a company, is involved in criminal activities,” said Mayor Bill de Blasio on Wednesday the TV channel MSNBC. The “incitement to riot” is clearly a criminal activity, the Democrat said.
Trump’s corporate empire consists of a network of hundreds of companies. It also has contracts with the City of New York to operate a carousel, two ice rinks and a golf course. According to De Blasio, the attractions bring Trump companies $ 17 million annually. Trump had become known for real estate deals in his hometown of New York. In large parts of the liberal stronghold, the outgoing US president has long been despised by the Republicans.
The city announced a treaty review after a mob instigated by Trump stormed the Washington Capitol on January 6. Five people died in the process. The president’s guilt has not yet been legally proven. (dpa)
