I just asked what their purpose is. If they are going to look for foreign investment in NYC then that makes sense to me. Qatar has a shit ton of money to invest, but idk what Greece has to offer. That’s all I’m asking.

The Mayor shouldn't be traveling to find private investors for a city. That's...a big no no.

The NYC Mayors office is, behind the Presidency, the most famous elected civic office in the United States. There's a certain amount of leeway the Mayor has with attending junkets, NYC being the Us's only alpha world city.

There actually is very little leeway when it comes to Conflict of Interest and corruption rules and reporting required by NYC. The issue is we allow our mayor's to appoint half the COI Board and they rarely or never are punished for what they do.
