Co Galway-based businessman Declan Ganley has dismissed Donald Trump’s criticism of his company, Rivada Networks, as “politics” after the former US president attacked the firm’s lobbyist and shareholder Karl Rove. Without naming Rivada, which Mr Rove advises and is a shareholder in, Mr Trump referred to the Republican’s lobbying on behalf of the telecoms company when he was still president. Mr Trump said Mr Rove “came to the Oval Office lobbying for 5G for him and a group”. Our nation can do much better!” Mr Trump wrote. Mr Ganley told The Irish Times that Mr Trump’s attack on Mr Rove and Rivada was motivated by what Mr Rove had written about the former US president in the column.
