Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Wednesday that New York City will terminate its business contracts with President Donald Trump as a result of a mob storming the U.S. Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters last week.
The Trump Organization has a contract with the city to operate two ice rinks and a carousel in Central Park, as well as a golf course in the Bronx district. He earns about $ 17 million a year as a result of those contracts, de Blasio said.
“I am here to announce that New York City is terminating all contracts with the Trump Organization,” de Blasio said.
It is the latest example of how the violent assault on January 6 by Trump supporters is affecting the business interests of the outgoing Republican president.
The PGA of America voted Sunday to remove the PGA Championship from Trump’s golf course in New Jersey next year, a move that came after social media platforms deactivated Trump’s accounts and Shopify removed the online stores affiliated with it.
