Trump’s $5.5 Billion Qatar Deal: Luxury Plane, Golf Course, and Controversy
The Trump Organization announced a new luxury golf resort deal in Qatar, expanding its presence in the Gulf region. This $5.5 billion Simaisma beachside project, developed in partnership with Qatari Diar and Dar Global, includes a Trump International Golf Course and villas. The deal raises ethical concerns, given the Trump Organization’s pledge to avoid partnerships with foreign governments, despite Qatari Diar’s government ownership. Critics have voiced concerns about potential conflicts of interest between the President’s business dealings and his official duties. This latest venture follows other recent foreign business agreements by the Trump Organization.
