Trump’s Dual Roles Collide With Openings in Dubai and Vancouver
At the Saturday night opening of the clubhouse of the Trump International Golf Club, Dubai, guests munched on mini chicken burgers
and sipped fizzy lemonade while Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., the president’s adult sons, lauded the ruler of Dubai and their business partner, Hussain Sajwani.
President Trump’s adult sons, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., attended the opening of the Trump International Golf Club in Dubai.
Eric Trump, who with his older brother helps run the Trump Organization now
that their father is president, said before the Dubai event that the company was not the owner of either development, but only collected a small share of the revenues, and that it did not control who bought the units in Vancouver or the membership list at the golf course in Dubai.
Mr. Sajwani, a billionaire businessman who, like Mr. Trump, built his wealth through real estate, told the crowd
that working with the Trumps "was and continues to be a pleasure." On the other side of the world, in Vancouver, British Columbia, preparations continued for another ribbon-cutting, on Feb. 28, at a new Trump hotel and condo project there, funded by the Malaysian tycoon Tiah Thee Kian and his son, Tiah Joo Kim.
Bill Streeper said that The Trump name represents quality,
Questions swirled about the commitment of Mr. Sajwani, a Muslim in a predominately Muslim country, to the Trump brand in 2015, after Mr. Trump said
that if elected, he would impose a ban on Muslims entering the United States.
