The Trump Organization has agreed to a deal with a Qatari government-owned firm to back a golf course and luxury home project in the country, two weeks before President Trump is set to travel to the Middle East on a state visit.
Eric Trump, the president’s son who runs the family business, traveled to Dubai this week to attend a cryptocurrency conference and promote the real estate developments,which include a new Trump-branded tower in the United Arab Emirates.
The project in Qatar is in partnership with Qatari Diar, a real estate company established by the country’s sovereign wealth fund and chaired by a government minister. Eric Trump told The New York Times that the golf course would be “beautiful” and “right on the ocean.”
