The White House intervened to get a $620 million deal for an NC company tied to Donald Trump Jr.

The White House, through Peter Navarro, a White House adviser and friend of Donald Trump Jr., initiated a $620 million Pentagon loan to Vulcan Elements, a North Carolina startup linked to Trump Jr. Pentagon officials expedited the approval process, raising concerns about potential cronyism. The loan is part of broader efforts by the Trump administration to support companies with ties to the Trump family.
