REVEALED: July 4th fireworks donor lobbied President Trump on tariffs and won a reprieve
President Donald Trump's Fourth of July celebration will feature $750,000 of donated fireworks from an Ohio retailer who has lobbied the White House against expanded tariffs on Chinese imports.
Company executives said the donation had been in the works for months and that the gift was not politically motivated. Phantom Fireworks CEO Bruce Zoldan told ABC News Live last month that he met face-to-face with Trump in May during an Oval Office meeting with business leaders to discuss the impact of tariffs, but he said that the group did not explicitly discuss fireworks.
"It would be pretty devastating," Bill Weimer, vice president of Phantom Fireworks told ABC News of the threatened tariff."The problem is there's no alternative source for us to get the fireworks. We have to stay with China." — Donald J. Trump July 2, 2019 "Thanks to"Phantom Fireworks" and"Fireworks by Grucci" for their generosity in donating the biggest fireworks show Washington D.C. has ever seen," Trump tweeted."CEO's Bruce Zoldan and Phil Grucci are helping to make this the greatest 4th of July celebration in our Nations history!"
