Trump Family’s Saudi Business Ties Spark Ethics Concerns

President Trump is set to host Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia, who is currently engaged in discussions regarding a major construction project with the Trump family’s business. This development has sparked ethical concerns due to the potential for conflicts of interest. During a recent state dinner in Saudi Arabia in May, Trump, bin Salman, and Jerry Inzerillo, a representative of the Trump Organization, viewed a model of the proposed Diriyah development. The collaboration between the Trump family and Saudi Arabian officials has drawn scrutiny, particularly given the broader implications for U.S.-Saudi relations and potential influence over policy decisions.
