Kushner drops plan to build a Trump-branded hotel on a Belgrade site bombed by NATO after "severe backlash"
Following protests and indictments, Kushner and his private equity group, Affinity Partners, rolled back plans to redevelop a Belgrade site bombed by NATO as a Trump-branded project, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Plans for a trio of towers in the country were plagued by a series of predicaments, including a special prosecutor indicting a cabinet minister and three others in connection with the plan.
“Because meaningful projects should unite rather than divide, and out of respect for the people of Serbia and the City of Belgrade, we are withdrawing our application and stepping aside at this time,” a spokesperson for Kusher's company said.
The move was considered an "abrupt end to an increasingly controversial project that Kushner—now both a public figure and a prolific dealmaker—has worked on for more than two years," The Journal reported.
