Have any current presidential candidates accepted political campaign donations from non-US sources that cannot vote, but have an interest in that candidate?

Ps (based on first three answers) I don't understand how a president that owes favors to other countries in return for the donations and gifts can be trusted to act on what is best for American Citizens. Won't legisilations be swayed in ways that can potentially undermine our security and economy?

Not legally but some of them don't appear to let that get in the way of accepting them.

Yes, non-American lobbyist, business, governments, etc. can (and do) donate funds to the US candidate they want elected.
They can also influence politicians with business contracts, travel, and gifts.

it sure looks like Hillary has done so ... doesn't make it either legal or ethical, but she doesn't seem to be worried.
