????特朗普國際酒店大廈

????2008年,，特朗普起訴德意志銀行（Deutsche Bank）。德意志銀行是特朗普大型建筑項(xiàng)目的主要貸款方,，而特朗普起訴的原因是德意志銀行竟然敢要求他償付一筆金額為4,000萬美元的貸款,。特朗普的理由是，金融危機(jī)觸發(fā)了貸款協(xié)議中的“不可抗力”條款（其中包括騷亂,、洪水和不受借款方控制的其他事件）,。

????特朗普認(rèn)為，這一條款免除了他立即償付芝加哥特朗普國際酒店大廈（Trump International Hotel and Tower）施工項(xiàng)目所欠貸款的義務(wù),。這位地產(chǎn)大亨堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為,，貸款方損害了他的信譽(yù)和項(xiàng)目聲譽(yù)，因此應(yīng)該支付300萬美元賠償,。最終,，這起訴訟由雙方在庭外達(dá)成解決。

????Trump International Hotel and Tower

????In 2008, Trump sued Deutsche Bank, lead lender on one of his massive building projects, for having the audacity to ask him to return a $40 million loan. Trump reasoned that the financial crisis activated a "force majeure" clause in their agreement (covering riots, floods, and other events outside the borrower's control).

????That clause, Trump argued, relieved him of his obligation to immediately pay back the sum he owed on the construction of the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago. The real estate mogul insisted that the lenders should pay him $3 million for damaging his reputation and the project. The lawsuit was eventually settled out of court.
