Trump organization strikes deal for luxury golf resort in Qatar

The Trump Family Company completed a deal on Wednesday to build a luxury golf resort in Qatar In a sign there is no plans to hold back from Foreign business during a second Trump managementDespite the risk of a president who shapes the US public order for personal financial profits.

The project with Trump-brand beach villas and an 18-hole golf course, which is to be built by a Saudi Arabian company Donald Trump Office accepted and unlike in his first term. At that time, he committed foreign deals in an extraordinary press conference that is surrounded by stacks of legal documents when he promised to avoid the appearance of conflicts of interest.

Noah Bookbinder, President of a Wachthund group who sued Trump for alleged ethics violations, has blown up the Qatarian deal.

“You want a president to make decisions that are in the best interest of the United States, not in his conclusion,” said Bookbinder, who heads citizens for responsibility and ethics in Washington.

In addition to a Saudi Arabian partner named Dar Global, the planned resort north of the Qatar capital of Doha is developed by a company in Qatari called Qatari Diar, which belongs to the Qatar government. This seems to violate the much weaker ethics promise of the Trump organization that it would not include foreign governments.

When the Trump organization was asked about clarification, she said that her deal with the Saudi company, not the Qatarian who was responsible for the business for Trump's son Eric, who is responsible for the business, mentioned both companies in an earlier explanation.

“We are incredibly proud to expand the Trump brand through this extraordinary cooperation with Qatar Diar and Dar Global in Qatar,” he said.

It is unlikely that the deal will be the last of its kind for the Trump International Golf Club and Trump Villas on Wednesday. There are several other offers that were sworn in front of Trump, including one for a golf resort in Vietnam at the end of last year with a company with connections to the Communist Party.

The business was outraged by state watchdogs, but mainly from Trump's Republicans were silent in the congress.

The Associated Press turned to the two Republicans, who provided the foreign committees in the Senate and House, Senator James Risch from Idaho and Rep. Brian Mast from Florida, but also did not respond.

Each contract with Saudi Arabia is considered particularly problematic in foreign policy circles. Trump's close relationships with Saudi -arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman drew serious criticism during his first term after killing 2018 Jamal KhashoggiA Saudi columnist for Washington Post, which had critically wrote about the monarchy.

It is believed that Khashoggi has been dismembered, a murder US secret service group The crown prince approved.

The deal on Wednesday with the Saudi company Dar Global, an international international arm of the developer Dar Al Arkan, follows deal with it for. Two Riad projects in December. Dar Global does not belong to the Saudi government, but it has close relationships with the royal Saudi family.

Another government tie with Trump is his son -in -law Jared Kushner. The Saudi confident assets have reported 2 billion US dollars in an investment fund operated by Kushner. And the Saudi LIV-Golf supported tournaments in the Doral Resort of Trump near Miami.

Despite Trump's first term in his first term, no steps to take a conflict with his personal financial stocks and his business, he opened the doors for all possible potential pay-to-play offers. In his hotel, the white house was held down the street, which were numerous company lobbyists, CEOs, congress members and diplomats. Trump card Once proposed A G7 meeting of the global managers at Doral in front of them withdrawn After an outcry on ethics concerns.

Against the first Trump administration, several lawsuits were submitted in which they had dismissed the emrocers' clause of the US constitution that prohibits a president of accepting gifts or payments from foreign or domestic governments. A case was filed to the Supreme Court, but was never heard because Trump had already left the presidency at that time and the problem was controversial.

This time the hotel is gone, sells to an investment company in Miami, but other sources of potential conflicts of interest have arisen.

The Trump organization also has a large part of the listed parent company of the Social Media platform Truth Social, which enables Trump to benefit financially from traffic to the location where its postings as US President are widespread. The family also has a participation in a cybercurrency trading platform called World Liberty Financial, since Trump pushed less regulatory supervision over cybercurrencies.
