Venue switch by Canada chamber sparks debate on Trump's conflict of interest

Ottawa

THE American Chamber of Commerce in Canada had long planned to hold a meeting on Thursday night at the Vancouver home of a US diplomatic official to talk about trade relations in the Donald Trump era.

Then, two days ago, the group suddenly switched its plan - choosing instead to rent space for C$2,500 (S$2,723) at the glittering new hotel tower bearing the US president's name.
