According to news, an impeachment enquiry against Donald Trump was launched on Tuesday and some say this will make the drama that followed the nomination of Brett Kavanagh to the Supreme Court, insignificant. Trump has been accused of bribing the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenski. The Ukraine are reported to have received military aid from the US but not recently, and with no explanation as to why the aid didn’t materialise. According to reports, on July 25th, Donald Trump asked the Ukraine President to investigate circumstances involving Joe Biden and his son, Robert.
Joe Biden, the democratic party candidate is Trump’s political rival for the Presidency in the 2020 elections. Robert Hunter Biden, his second son has been involved with Barisma Holdings, an oil and gas company in the Ukraine, since 2014.
Joe Biden, according to reports, called for the dismissal of the prosecutor who was investigation Burisma Holdings following complaints that they were selling Iraqi oil. He threatened to withhold US financial sponsorship. This is said to be part of a wider effort involving western allies, the world bank and the International monetary fund.
The world bank historically has given loans to third world countries. The International monetary fund is said to facilitate international trade and oversee exchange rates. Both were formed as a un innitiative in 1944. In 2010, according to official documents the mandate was expanded to include government of the world’s economy. This includes the rights to surveillance, the giving of cautionery advice and the constructing of regulatory policies and structural reforms.
