Donald Trump and Mauricio Macri have known each other for decades. According to a book written by Macri’s father Franco, Trump threw a tantrum after losing a round of golf to Mauricio Macri and broke his friend’s golf clubs one by one.

In 1979, the elder Macri tried buy a majority share in one of Trump’s Manhattan real estate projects, and ended up losing $30 million when the deal fell through. When the younger Macri was kidnapped and held for ransom in 1991, his father briefly suspected that Donald Trump was the “true intellectual author” of the crime.

Macri — who took office last December — openly supported Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election, saying earlier this year: “It would be hard to work with someone who would want to build walls.” His Foreign Minister Malcorra said Trump was “more closed, more isolationist and xenophobic.” Prominent Argentinian journalists are now voicing concerns that their government needs to quickly make amends with Trump, saying their only hope is that he was too busy to read up on what the Macri Administration said about him.

But the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause bars him from accepting “any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.”

Legal experts told ThinkProgress that if Macri helps Trump secure the permits for his Buenos Aires project, it could be considered an unconstitutional gift under the Emoluments Clause.
