Trump Organization Strikes Controversial Qatar Golf Deal
Tap title to read story
The Trump Organization announced a deal to build a luxury golf resort in Qatar, its first foreign deal since Donald Trump's presidency. The project, involving Saudi Arabian firm Dar Global and Qatari Diar, a government-owned company, has drawn criticism from ethics watchdogs who cite potential conflicts of interest, especially given Trump's past ties to Saudi Arabia. This deal contradicts Trump's prior pledge to avoid foreign deals during his first term. The Trump Organization maintains the deal is primarily with the Saudi firm, despite Eric Trump's statement mentioning both partners. Republicans in Congress have remained largely silent on the matter.
