The "Constitutional Emoluments Protection of American Interests Act of 2025" aims to prevent federal funds from being utilized in connection with any property or entity associated with Donald J. Trump. Specifically, the bill mandates that federal funds may not be used at any property or entity that is owned by, managed by, or under the control of Donald J. Trump . This prohibition extends to preventing the federal government from entering into any new contracts, grants, or cooperative agreements with such entities. The legislation provides a comprehensive and detailed list of properties and corporate entities that fall under this restriction. This extensive inventory includes numerous domestic and international hotels, golf clubs, residential towers, and various business organizations. Examples range from the Trump International Hotel & Tower in Chicago and Trump National Doral Miami to Trump Tower Mumbai and various LLCs like DT Marks Dubai LLC, illustrating the broad scope of the proposed financial disengagement. By enacting this prohibition, the bill seeks to address potential conflicts of interest and uphold the principle of emoluments protection, ensuring that federal spending does not inadvertently benefit the business interests of a former president. The inclusion of a specific, exhaustive list of entities underscores the bill's intent to clearly define the scope of this financial separation. Ultimately, the legislation aims to establish a clear boundary between federal expenditures and the financial holdings of Donald J. Trump and his associated businesses.
