Eric Trump, the son of the US president, has travelled to the Gulf as the Trump family expands their business in the region, striking a deal involving a Qatari state-owned company shortly before Donald Trump is scheduled to visit.
The Trump Organization on Wednesday agreed a deal in which Saudi construction company Dar Global will license the Trump name for a branded golf club and luxury villas north of Doha, part of a development led by Qatari state company Qatari Diar.
Eric Trump is also speaking at a cryptocurrency conference in Dubai on Thursday.
Although Trumps sons manage the company, the Qatar deal will stoke concerns that the presidents family stands to benefit financially from business in countries with whom the US has close relationships, including in defence.
