President Trump Update on California acquisition Ascent Industrie's recent California acquisiton of Green Sage industries has sparked unfavourable attention from US President Donald Trump. The company has stated their intentions to expand their business into California in order to pursuit the global market and diversify their company.
President Trump has called this move an "outrageous attack on American business which needs to be stopped" and furthermore labelled the Canadian Cannabis company "Thugs [and] outlaws". The president gave no clear intention of the White House's plan of action but further asserted:
"For too long Canadian businesses have been taking control of our market. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they are everytihng America does not stand for- and they have to be stopped."
Ascent Industries Philip Campbell has yet to comment on the rhetoric of President Trump.
