(Susan Walsh\/AP\u2063 Photo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The concerns surrounding Hunter Biden&#8217;s business dealings\u2063 in Ukraine arose when it was revealed that he was appointed \u2064to the \u200cboard of a Ukrainian energy company, Burisma, despite having no relevant experience in \u200cthe field. Critics argue that his position on the board\u2063 was due to his father&#8217;s influence as Vice \u200dPresident at \u2064the\u200c time. However, no evidence has\u200c been produced to prove any illegal actions committed by\u2064 either President\u2063 Biden or his son.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, \u2063questions have been raised regarding Hunter Biden&#8217;s business ties with\u200b China. It has \u2063been \u200calleged that he \u2062received lucrative business opportunities as a \u2064result of\u2062 his family connections, including meetings with high-ranking Chinese\u2062 officials. Once again, while these connections raise ethical concerns, no evidence of illegal activities has been \u2063presented.<\/p>\n<h2>The Impact on President Biden&#8217;s Presidency<\/h2>\n<p>The controversy surrounding Hunter \u200dBiden&#8217;s\u200d business dealings has had an impact on President \u2062Biden&#8217;s presidency. It\u200b has provided\u200b ammunition for his political opponents to\u2063 question his integrity and cast doubts on his ability to effectively \u200dgovern.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is important to note that the AP-NORC\u2062 poll also found that a considerable portion\u200b of Americans \u2064(30\u2063 percent) \u200dbelieve President Biden has \u200cnot done anything wrong in relation to his son&#8217;s business \u200daffairs. This reflects a significant percentage of the population\u2064 who either \u2063do not find the allegations\u2063 credible or do not consider them to be of significant concern.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore,\u200d President Biden has\u2063 maintained his innocence and denied\u200b any involvement or wrongdoing in his \u2064son&#8217;s business dealings. He\u2064 has called the \u2063accusations a distraction and a part of political attacks aimed at undermining his administration.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>The AP-NORC poll reflects \u200bthe partisan \u200cdivide in America \u200cwhen it comes to the\u200b allegations against President Biden regarding his\u2063 son&#8217;s business dealings. \u2064While \u200ba majority of\u2062 Americans believe that President Biden acted either illegally \u200cor\u200c unethically, this belief is heavily influenced by political affiliation.<\/p>\n<p>The controversies surrounding Hunter\u200c Biden&#8217;s business dealings\u2063 continue\u2063 to cast a shadow over President\u200d Biden&#8217;s presidency. However, without concrete evidence of illegal actions or direct\u200c involvement by \u2062the president, these allegations remain a matter of\u200c perception and political \u2063discourse.<\/p>\n<p>As President Biden navigates the challenges of his presidency, it \u2062remains to be seen how the \u2063public&#8217;s perception of his handling \u2063of his son&#8217;s\u200d business affairs will\u2064 shape his presidency and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/us-senator-indicted-on-bribery-charges-prosecutors\/\" title=\"US Senator charged with bribery: Prosecutors\">wider political landscape<\/a> in \u200dthe coming \u200dyears.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>acted illegally or unethically?&#8221; The majority of Americans expressed concerns about President Joe Biden&#8217;s handling of his son&#8217;s international business affairs, according to an AP-NORC poll.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":118,"featured_media":2067813,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[543],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2067812","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-epoch-times"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2067812","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/118"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2067812"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2067812\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2067813"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2067812"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2067812"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2067812"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
