Guatemala has hired for $900,000 a major supporter of former President Donald Trump to seek influence with U.S. officials in an unusual lobbying contract paid for by its ally Taiwan, foreign lobby records show.
The contract, dated Jan. 12, was signed by Alfonso Quinonez, Guatemala’s ambassador to the U.S., and Brian Ballard, president of the namesake lobbying firm and a longtime Trump ally.

$900,000 to take politicians and officials to fancy dinners? What a cushy gig.

R5, I wonder how they feel about all of Trump's secret bank account/business dealings in China.

Hey, shithole Ling-Ling OP!!! Tell me again why Taiwan needed to lobby the US, when they already have this? Huh!

R7, you're a moron. Taiwan's not lobbying. Guatemala is lobbying for itself. Taiwan's just paying for the MAGA lobbyist.

This is open corruption. Why does lobbying remain legal?
