Trump’s company in trouble – level 2
19-01-2023 07:00
Last week, a New York judge sentenced Donald Trump’s real estate company to pay a penalty of 1.61 million dollars.
According to the judge, the company avoided paying taxes, and the penalty was the highest which the company could get. Experts said that the verdict could have a negative impact on the company because other companies would not want to lend it money.
Trump said that he didn’t agree with the penalty, and the Democratic Party wanted to hurt him and his business. His company plans to appeal to a higher court to change the verdict.
Difficult words: penalty (the money someone has to pay when he breaks a law), avoid (to not do something), verdict (a decision of a judge).
