years of court battles have raised questions as to whether the trademarks will prevent you from

standing up to China on behalf of American workers and businesses.

In order to better understand the circumstances surrounding China's approval of these

trademarks, please provide responses to the following questions:

1. Please describe all trademark applications submitted in the People's Republic of

China on your behalf or on behalf of your business interests, including the dates of
the applications, dates of any approvals, and any still pending.

2. What is the monetary value you or the Trump Organization assign to these
trademarks? Please describe the methodology and any calculations used to obtain this
valuation.

3. Did you, or anyone acting on your behalf, communicate with any representatives of
the Chinese government regarding your status as President of the United States, or
prior to January 20, your status as a presidential candidate or President-elect, with
respect to any trademarks applications submitted on behalf of you or your business
interests? If so, please describe the dates of these communications and the names and
titles of the officials with whom these communications occurred.

4. Did you, or anyone acting on your behalf, employ a "government relations" strategy
related to any trademarks applications submitted on behalf of you or your business
interests? If so, please describe this strategy and how it was executed.

5. Did you, or anyone acting on your behalf, communicate with any representatives of
the U.S. Embassy in China with respect to any trademark applications submitted on
behalf of you or your business interests? If so, please describe the dates of these
communication and the names and titles of the officials with whom these
communications occurred.

Please provide your responses to these questions in writing by June 13, 2017. Thank
you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
