Trump Organization Expands Real Estate Ventures in Saudi Arabia
The company, led by Eric Trump, announces new projects in Jeddah and Riyadh as Donald Trump prepares to re-enter the White House.
- Eric Trump unveiled plans for a Trump Tower in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, marking the Trump Organization's first major project in the country.
- The Jeddah project, developed in partnership with Dar Global, will feature a 47-floor residential tower and is estimated to cost $532 million, with completion expected in four years.
- Additional projects in Riyadh, including a Trump Tower and a golf community, were also announced, expanding the Trump Organization’s footprint in the Middle East.
- The announcements come as concerns over potential conflicts of interest resurface, given Donald Trump’s return to the presidency and past business ties with Saudi Arabia.
- Criticism has also been directed at Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, over a $2 billion investment from Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund in his private equity firm.
