一本爆料美国白宫内幕的新书披露称,美国总统特朗普女婿兼顾问库什纳任职白宫期间,曾向台湾当局持股的兆丰银行借贷高达5000万美元,显示“美国第一家庭和台湾当局之间可能存在不为人知的利益交换”。

据台湾《联合报》24日报道,《福布斯》杂志资深编辑亚历山大在撰写的新书《白宫公司》一书中爆料称,库什纳和生意伙伴2015年斥资2.75亿美元买下纽约布鲁克林区的一间旧仓库,改建为住宅,为此库什纳等人共同承担1.75亿美元贷款。2017年特朗普入主白宫后,库什纳出任白宫高级顾问,这笔贷款于同年分拆。作者取得的财务数据显示,台湾兆丰银行借给库什纳5000万美元。亚历山大称,兆丰银行的母公司兆丰金控,官股拥有26%的股权,董事会成员大多是台湾“财政部”官员,有绝对影响力。先前没有任何媒体报道过库什纳与兆丰银行的借贷关系,“这代表与台湾当局相关的海外银行,对美国总统高级顾问和第一家庭成员握有一些影响力,但迄今外界对此一无所知”。报道提及,根据美国《信息揭露法》规定,公务员只需申报个人名下债务,不用申报持股公司的债务,所以依法库什纳不需要申报这笔贷款。
针对岛内质疑贷款给库什纳的5000万美元是“密账”,兆丰银行23日称,“这种说法与事实不符”。兆丰银行2015年5月参与美国富国银行主办的1.75亿美元联贷案,借款对象为不动产开发公司,并非库什纳本人,而且本案已于2018年12月全数清偿。兆丰金控董事长张兆顺称,此案没什么事,库什纳不是借款人,只是其中小小股东而已。不过有媒体发现,兆丰银行是有“前科”的。2016年8月19日,该银行纽约分行遭美国纽约州金融服务署指控违反银行保密法及反洗钱法,开罚1.8亿美元,创岛内金融在海外遭罚金额最高纪录。
民进党当局也是极力撇清。台“财政部长”苏建荣24日称,此案很清楚,是2015年5月的联贷案,当时蔡英文都没上任,特朗普也不知道要不要选美国总统,“把时间点扯在一起不太公平,此案纯粹是商业联贷案,没有对特定对象直接贷款”。“行政院”发言人丁怡铭强调借贷是公开性质,并非蔡英文当局要和特朗普打好关系,偷偷借库什纳一笔钱,然后这笔钱不用还,“钱既非密账,也无利益交换”。民进党“立委”何志伟还称,在美国大选前夕放出此消息,恐有目的。
曾任“金管会主委”的国民党“立委”曾铭宗称,虽然兆丰银行表示借款已偿还完毕,但因为它是泛公股银行,也是上市金融机构,应该说清楚三点疑虑。首先,这笔贷款始于2015年5月,为何一开始没参贷的兆丰两年后突然承接贷款?其次,总贷款金额为1.75亿美元,兆丰参贷了5000万美元,比例相对很高,这与过往参与国际联贷的惯例是否有差距?第三,看起来库什纳应该是以企业方式贷款,“兆丰在参贷时,是否知情库什纳在这家公司的持股比例?”“立委”赖士葆也质疑称,兆丰银行属公股,银行借款前一般会了解公司经营状况、大股东甚至背后母公司等,特朗普在美国房地产界呼风唤雨,若母公司是他的,各银行大多会另眼看待。还有银行主管称,若台方要与美国打好交道,“公股银行向其女婿示好,不是不可能”。
《中国时报》24日称,特朗普2016年年底当选美国总统后,他的爱女伊万卡和女婿兼白宫顾问库什纳双双跃升为白宫重要人物。从最近以色列与阿联酋建交、甲骨文收购TikTok到白宫人事争斗等,库什纳的影子可以说“无所不在”。如今特朗普力拼竞选连任,39岁的库什纳更是幕后最重要的操盘手。《福布斯》称,特朗普政府为了对抗大陆,近来一直致力深化美台关系。他2016年年底当选后因与蔡英文通电话惹怒北京,据悉当时就是靠库什纳出面灭火的。有分析认为,库什纳与兆丰银行之间不为人知的往来,恐使美国与台湾和大陆之间的关系更加复杂化。
Exposure: Taiwan authorities gave Trump son-in-law $50 million

A new book revealing the inside story of the US White House revealed that during his tenure at the White House, President Trump’s son-in-law and adviser Kushner borrowed as much as US$50 million from Mega Bank, which is a shareholder of the Taiwan authorities. There may be an unknown exchange of interests between the authorities."
Data map: Trump son-in-law Kushner
According to Taiwan’s "United Daily News" report on the 24th, "Forbes" magazine senior editor Alexander broke the news in his new book "The White House Company" that Kushner and his business partner spent US$275 million in 2015 to buy Brooklyn, New York. An old warehouse was converted into a residence, for which Kushner and others jointly assumed a loan of US$175 million. After Trump entered the White House in 2017, Kushner served as a senior adviser to the White House, and the loan was split in the same year. The financial data obtained by the author showed that Taiwan Mega Bank lent Kushner US$50 million. Alexander said that Mega Financial Holdings, the parent company of Mega Bank, owns 26% of the shares in official shares. Most of the board members are officials from Taiwan's "Ministry of Finance" and have absolute influence. No media has previously reported on Kushner’s loan relationship with Mega Bank. “This represents overseas banks related to the Taiwan authorities and has some influence over senior advisers to the US President and members of the first family. Ignorant". According to the report, according to the US "Information Disclosure Act", civil servants only need to declare the debts under their personal names, not the debts of the holding company, so Kushner does not need to declare this loan according to law.
In response to the island’s question that the US$50 million loaned to Kushner was a “secret account,” Mega Bank stated on the 23rd that “this statement does not match the facts.” Mega Bank participated in the US$175 million syndicated loan case sponsored by Wells Fargo Bank in May 2015. The borrower was a real estate development company, not Kushner himself, and the case was fully settled in December 2018. Zhang Zhaoshun, chairman of Zhaofeng Financial Holdings, said that there was nothing wrong with this case and Kushner was not a borrower, but only a small shareholder. However, some media found that Mega Bank had a "prior conviction". On August 19, 2016, the New York branch of the bank was accused by the New York State Financial Services Agency of violating bank secrecy laws and anti-money laundering laws and fined US$180 million, setting the highest amount of fines imposed on the island’s financial institutions overseas.
The DPP authorities also tried their best to clear it away. Taiwan’s “Treasury Minister” Su Jianrong said on the 24th that the case was very clear. It was a joint loan case in May 2015. At that time, Tsai Ing-wen did not take office, and Trump did not know whether to elect the president of the United States. It’s not fair. This case is purely a commercial syndicated loan case and there is no direct loan to a specific object." "Executive Yuan" spokesperson Ding Yiming emphasized that borrowing is public. It is not that the Tsai Ing-wen authorities want to establish a good relationship with Trump, secretly borrowing a sum of money from Kushner, and then not having to repay the money. "The money is neither a secret account, nor No interest exchange". The DPP "legislator" He Zhiwei also said that the announcement of this news on the eve of the US election might have a purpose.
The Kuomintang "legislator" Zeng Mingzong, who was once the chairman of the "Financial Management Committee," said that although Mega Bank stated that the loan had been repaid, because it is a pan-public bank and a listed financial institution, three concerns should be made clear. First of all, this loan started in May 2015. Why did Zhaofeng, which did not participate in the loan at the beginning, suddenly accept the loan two years later? Secondly, the total loan amount is 175 million US dollars, and Mega has participated in the loan of 50 million US dollars, which is a relatively high proportion. Is there any gap between this and the past practice of participating in international joint loans? Third, it seems that Kushner should be lending in a corporate manner. “Did Mega know about Kushner’s shareholding ratio in this company when participating in the loan?” “Legislative” Lai Shibao also questioned that Mega Bank They are public shares, and banks generally understand the company’s operating conditions, major shareholders and even the parent company behind them before borrowing. Trump is calling for trouble in the US real estate industry. If the parent company is his, most banks will look at it differently. There are also bank executives who said that if Taiwan wants to deal with the United States well, "it is not impossible for publicly-owned banks to show goodwill to their son-in-law."
The China Times said on the 24th that after Trump was elected President of the United States at the end of 2016, his beloved daughter Ivanka and his son-in-law and White House adviser Kushner both became important figures in the White House. From the recent establishment of diplomatic relations between Israel and the UAE, Oracle's acquisition of TikTok to the White House personnel battle, Kushner's shadow can be said to be "ubiquitous". Now Trump is fighting for re-election, 39-year-old Kushner is the most important trader behind the scenes. According to Forbes, the Trump administration has been committed to deepening US-Taiwan relations in order to confront the mainland. After he was elected at the end of 2016, he angered Beijing by talking on the phone with Tsai Ing-wen. It is reported that Kushner was responsible for the fire. Some analysts believe that the unknown exchanges between Kushner and Mega Bank may further complicate the relationship between the United States and Taiwan and the mainland.
