Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump spent the past two weeks pursuing a 'blitz of family moneymaking ventures' in Dubai, Saudi Arabia , Qatar and also in the US, New York Times reported, accusing them of capitalizing on President Donald Trump's name and power. The new ventures will benefit President Trump himself, the report said. But the White House rejected that there are any ethics issues or any conflicts of interest as Don Jr and Eric Trump manage Trump's businesses and have been doing so for a long time now.
Donald Trump Jr said he has been a businessman his entire life, unlike Hunter Biden, who sold paintings when Joe Biden was the president.
“It’s laughable that the left-wing media thinks that I should lock myself in a padded room while my father is president and cease doing what I’ve been doing for over 25 years to earn a living and provide for my five children,” Donald Trump Jr said in a statement to NYT.
“However, if I did do that, I guess I could always take up painting, which I hear can be quite lucrative.”
Eric Trump said many of these ventures -- from crypto to real estate -- were underway even before Donald Trump was re-elected. “We are building the most iconic projects on earth and leading the way in the digital revolution,” Eric Trump said in a statement to NYT.
White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said there are no conflicts of interest as the president's assets are in a trust managed by his children.
What are the Trump family's new business ventures?
A luxury hotel in Dubai, a second residential tower in Jeddah, a new golf course and villa complex in Qatar, two cryptocurrency ventures in the US are among the new deals. And then there is Donald Trump Jr's new private club 'Executive Branch' which will charge $500,000 per member.
Eric Trump attended Token2049, the biggest crypto conference panel in Dubai, while Donald Trump Jr was visiting Hungary, Romania, Serbia and Bulgaria on a paid-speech tour called 'Trump Business Vision 2025'.
