Are Foreign Companies โ€œPouring Cashโ€ into U.S. Election?

Oh, No!ย  It canโ€™t be true.ย  It couldnโ€™t.

Are British companies buying the U.S. election?

The British newspaper The Guardian says itโ€™s so.

Didnโ€™t you think it would be China thatโ€™s buying the U.S.?ย  The Guardian says the UKโ€™s a center for more than one-fourth of the PACs shoveling cash into the election.

โ€œThis makes the UK the biggest hub for non-US multinationals seeking to exert influence at the US ballot box on 6 November. Despite this, some FTSE 100 groups continue to tell shareholders in annual reports and elsewhere that they do not make political donations.โ€
