10/4 At its annual board meeting, the National Mining Association is addressed by three Cabinet members: Wilbur Ross,

2/14 Trump, who owned stock in large oil companies, allows oil companies to hide the payments they make to foreign governments in exchange for extraction rights. The move comes only 2 months after ExxonMobil, which lobbied for the concession, donated $500,000 to Trump’s inaug.
