Trump Sons File $300 Million SPAC IPO to Revitalize U.S. Manufacturers

With Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. holding five million founder shares, the SPAC aims to acquire domestic industrial firms after removing language about federal incentives.

Overview

  • New America Acquisition I Corp has filed to offer 30 million units at $10 each on the New York Stock Exchange, aiming to raise $300 million.
  • Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. will serve on the SPAC’s advisory board with a combined five million founder shares convertible to common stock upon merger.
  • Under CEO Kevin McGurn and adviser Kyle Wool, the blank-check company plans to target U.S. manufacturing businesses with combined enterprise values of at least $700 million.
  • After an Associated Press inquiry, New America removed a line in its SEC filing about tapping federal or state incentives, highlighting ethics concerns.
  • The offering follows the Trump family’s prior SPAC ventures and raises conflict-of-interest questions over private enrichment tied to public policy.
