Overview

  • The Yiti project in Oman is a massive construction site supported by the Omani government and a Saudi firm that will include a Trump golf club and hotel.
  • Thousands of migrant workers from South Asia earning low wages are building the $1.6 billion project.
  • The Trump Organization has already made at least $5 million from the deal and will help manage the property for up to 30 years.
  • The project highlights questions about how Trump's business ties could impact foreign policy if he becomes president again.
  • The luxury development is displacing many local villagers who know little about Trump but dream of affording one of the townhouses.
