Only six months ago at the office, Donald Trump’s company Trump Organization rolled out 12 new international trade projects – crossing the clan from Trump’s entire first term. And with each new deal, the same question grows loudly: Where does President Trump’s public duty end, and where does his private empire start?
Qatar: ‘Funders of terrorism’ to business partners
Back in 2017, Donald Trump publicly called Qatar a “Funder of Terrorism”. The first reading deal safe by Trump Organization is taking place in Qatar after the return of fast-forward, and Trump organization by 2025.
The project excluded outside the Doha will feature a luxury resort and an 18-hole golf course, branded as Trump International Golf Club and Villa.
On paper, Vikas is a leg by real estate developers Katri Dyer and Saudi company Dar Global. But Katri Dyer is not an ordinary private company – it was established by Qatar’s sovereign wealth and presided over by a government minister, which makes it a hand of the Katri state.
In the week before President Trump’s scheduled visit to Qatar in May 2025, Eric Trump traveled there to help pursue the conversation.
The Trump Organization has stated that the partnership was secured through Dar Global, a Saudi firm, not with a straight Katri Dyer. But this explanation rarely keeps questions to relax, as Dar Global itself has close and well -recorded relationships of the Saudi royal family.
Mauhile, Trump’s journey of May brought another issue: The Katri government offered a customized boing 747 for a so -called “Flying Palace” worth approximately $ 400 million as a diplomatic gift to the United States.
Beyond the thesis business complication, American relations with Qatar are complex. While Qatar has faced criticism to support Hamas, it deployed himself as a major intermediary at the ceasefire talks in Gaza. Thesis conflicting rolls – friends, funds, and fixer – deepen the President’s desire to confuse the President’s diplomacy only with personal advantages.
Saudi Arabia: Arabs, Cruelty and Business
Weeks before Trump’s Gulf visit in May 2025, in a series of suspected coincidences, Trump Organization revealed a new partnership with Dar Global. The deal is planned to construct the first Trump International Hotel and Tower in the Middle East in Dubai, marking their fifth regional cooperation.
Addressing the US Saudi investment platform, during the journey, Trump kept a regional vision built on the “national sovereign”, which rejected the idea of giving a lecture to the Middle Eastern governments about democracy or human rights.
On the same day, Trump unveiled the largest defense deal in US history-$ 142 billion package. It also binds Washington close to the government accused of repeated human rights violations.
In the light of this, Trump’s intimacy with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) is a notable. Human rights groups and intelligence agencies have long associated Crown Prince with cruel cracks and abuses, including the meeting of Washington Post Jamal Khashogi – a murder concluded by the CIA was personally ordered by MBS. Saudi Arabia has continued to disturb the dissidents on us.
In addition, Saudi Arabia’s regional status is important. The state Ukraine is trying to emerge as a mediator in the war and interact with Israel in exchange for concessions on Palestine. Thesis contradiction usually thinks twice before rewarding an US President with close ties to MBS.
Serbia: Business, Bomb and a long memory
In early 2024, five American businessmen with Serbian roots attended a reception at Trump’s Mar-e-Lago Resort in Florida. In early 2025, Serbian-American relations were ready for a new chapter.
Rod Blogojevich, a long -time Governor of Trump, and former Governor of Illinois, visited Serbian President Alexander Wuicis in Belgrade and publicly used the visit of Kosovo Minister Albin Kurti, which is said to be “caste cleaning” against Serbo living in Kosovo.
That rhetoric echoed the painful past in the region. In 1999, the United States and NATO Bomber Serbia to force their army out of Kosovo to prevent violent expulsion of ethnic albanians.
Then, in Trump’s second term, a few weeks, the $ 500 million real estate project was back into the news in Belgrade.
Under the leadership of Jredar Kushner’s Miami-based firm Finnity Partners, the scheme means that a luxury hotel and apartment complex on the site of heavy bombing of former Ugoslav Ministry-One Landmark-Glandmark during the NATO air campaign.
Trump Himil showed interest in developing property as 2014, even though local critics considered the replacement of a war monument with a luxury tower deeply derogatory.
By May 2025, the hurdles of that plan were cleaned by bees. Under the agreement, the project will have 175 -room hotels, more than 1,500 luxury apartments and a new monument for NATO bombing victims.
Vietnam: Tiffs, Trade and A Trump Deal
As President Donald Trump prepared for a visit to Vietnam in July 2025, his family business was also moving fast in the country.
In late May, the Trump organization announced a partnership with a subsidy of Vietnam-list Kinha Bake City Development Holding Corp, to develop a $ 1.5 billion golf course, resort and residential estate in the south of Hanoi, to the Hung Yen province.
Project unveiled, Eric Trump praised Vietnam, “Today is one of the most dynamic and promising markets in the world.” The deal was striking time, such as the US and Vietnam were excluding the details of a high-way trade agreement.
That trade deal was important for Vietnam. At that time, the government was facing danger from Trump, who punished 46% of tariffs on Vietnamese goods. Finally, the negotiaters settled on 20% tariff.
Against this background, there are serious concerns about the conflict of interest from the large -scale resort deal of the Trump organization.
‘No credit for restraint’
Eric Trump put it in last October: his family, he argued, During the Trump administration, the panel did not really get enough credit for the back.
But a Congress trial released last January revealed that Trump-Down businesses paid a fare of $ 7.8 million from 20 foreigners during their first term), which included the governments of China, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait and Malaysia. Some independent guards have speculated that the actual figures were even more.
Now, with the second-term green light, the Trump organization is advancing the full throttle. Its international expansion, Trump’s President’s visits, and personal entangles continue to blur the line between President Shakti and personal gain.
