US President Donald trump has not paid Federal income tax for the past ten years, the New York Times newspaper writes, citing tax returns.

According to the publication, when trump became President in 2016, he paid only $ 750 in income tax, and the same amount in 2017. “He didn’t pay income tax at all for ten of the last 15 years — mainly because he reported that he was losing more than he was earning,” the newspaper emphasizes.

However, the Trump Organization’s lawyer, Alan Garten, noted that “most of the facts, if not all, appear to be inaccurate.” He stressed that over the past ten years, the President has paid the government tens of millions of dollars in personal taxes.
