Prospective investors in a Trump Tower project near Delhi are being offered the opportunity to have “a conversation and dinner” with Donald Trump Jr, the son of the US president, in the latest advertisements in a marketing campaign that has drawn criticism from corruption watchdogs.

Full-size advertisements reading “Trump is here. Are you invited?”, featured on the front page of three national Indian newspapers at the weekend ahead of the Trump scion’s visit to India this week.

Trump Jr, the executive director of the Trump Organization, is expected to arrive in Delhi on Monday, where he will be shown around one of the four construction projects in the country licensed by the family company.

Those who purchase an apartment before Tuesday in the towers in Gurgaon, a satellite site about an hour south of Delhi, will be invited to dine with Trump Jr on Thursday.

....This is the 4th project in India after Pune, Mumbai and Kolkata.

“We are launching today the most luxurious project in North India ‘Trump Towers Delhi NCR’,” M3M India director Pankaj Bansal told PTI.

With an aim too woo customers, he said, “About an initial 100 buyers will fly to the US where Donald Trump Jr will host them.”
