Luxury skyscrapers, golf courses and cryptocurrency: The Trump family’s rapidly expanding Middle East business

 The Trump family’s business ties to the Middle East have more than tripled since the president’s first term in office, a CNN tally of the deals has found, including a slew of new projects announced since he reclaimed the White House.

Amid the ongoing plans for luxury skyscrapers, golf courses and cryptocurrency deals in the region, Donald Trump is traveling to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates this week not only as US president, but also as the patriarch of a family whose business empire continues to expand in that part of the world.

His financial ties to the Middle East have prompted concerns among government ethicists who say it’s difficult to determine whether he’s acting in the best interest of the United States or his pocketbook.

  1. Crypto isn't the gem everyone claims it is. Ask anyone who's lost their savings betting on the wrong coin. It's more like gambling.

  2. Ukranian energy and $2B investment by Chinese into the family businesses.
    And Romanian real estate.
