The Trump Family's Global Business Ventures: A New Era of Profit
Eric and Donald Trump Jr. embark on international deals, leveraging their father's influence and legacy for financial gain.
The Trump family's business pursuits have reached a new global scale, as Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump embark on a series of high-profile deals across Europe, the United States, and the Middle East. This last fortnight has witnessed an unprecedented rush wherein the Trumps are leveraging their father's name and influence to secure lucrative ventures, aiming to one-up each other in the process.
These ambitions encompass projects worth billions, including a lavish hotel in Dubai, an upscale residential tower in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, various cryptocurrency initiatives in the U.S., a new golf course and villa ensemble in Qatar, and a private club in Washington, D.C. The rapidity of these deals indicates a strategy that not only serves the Trump siblings but could also significantly benefit President Trump himself.
Earlier this week, a grand launch event in Dubai heralded the release of units in the proposed $1 billion, 80-story Trump International Hotel and Tower, with prices starting at a staggering $20 million. The promotional materials boldly declare, “Challenge everything. Stop at nothing.”
Despite the ambitious nature of these endeavors, they have often flown under the radar domestically. This can be attributed to the carefully curated appearances of the Trump brothers before supportive audiences, and also amid the storm of other controversies involving their father and his associates, which have dominated the news cycle. Douglas Brinkley, a noted historian, recently characterized this era as unprecedented in American political history, raising alarms over the conflicts of interest that loom large during President Trump’s second term.
