Donald Trump Jr. Arrives in India to Promote Trump Family Luxury Apartments

HeadlineFeb 20, 2018

Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of President Trump, has arrived in India for a whirlwind tour aimed at selling more than $1 billion worth of luxury apartments being built by the Trump Organization in partnership with Indian developers. Trump Jr. is also slated to speak at a Global Business Summit, where he and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi are billed as keynote speakers. Critics say the trip represents the array of the Trump family’s conflicts of interest. The Trump Organization has at least four real estate projects underway in India. Former State Department official Daniel Markey, who served under President George W. Bush, said, “The idea that the president’s son would be going and shilling the president’s brand at the same time Donald Trump is president and is managing strategic and foreign relations with India—that is just bizarre.”
