President Trump’s trip to India on Monday will create attention that could help Trump-branded properties amid the country’s slumping real estate market and slowing economy
President Donald Trump arrives Monday in a country featuring the most Trump properties outside the U.S.
It’s an issue that has hovered over the entire Trump presidency. From staying at his own properties, to his attempt to host world leaders at one of his Florida resorts, to his loving odes to his overseas properties while sitting next to the leaders of those countries, Trump has faced constant questions about whether he is using his presidential perch to line his own pockets.
In 2018, the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr. — who runs the Trump Organization with his brother, Eric Trump — spent several days in India promoting the family’s developments, attending a champagne dinner with condo buyers who plunked down $39,000 deposits and bringing in millions of dollars in new sales. While there, he also met with Modi behind closed doors.
“What you’re looking at — especially in India where he has extensive holdings — is more than problematic. It raises very serious conflicts of interest questions,” said Rep. Gerry Connolly, a member of the House Oversight Committee, which launched an investigation in March 2019 into Trump’s businesses. “The fact that his two sons run the day-to-day operations of the business that hardly separates it from him politically or financially.
