ABU DHABI (Reuters) – The Trump Organization, Donald Trump’s family company, will have a “very big wall” separating its business activities from the United States government, the president-elect’s son, Eric Trump, said in an interview with Reuters on Abu Dhabi on Tuesday (10).
The majority of the Trump Organization’s business is in the United States, although it has significant business interests abroad, including in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
During his first term, Donald Trump maintained ownership of the Trump Organization but placed control of the expanding business empire in the hands of his sons Eric and Donald Jr.
“Obviously, there’s going to be a very big wall between anything that has to do with our company and anything that has to do with the government,” Eric Trump told Reuters at a bitcoin conference.
“I take these obligations very seriously. I navigated it the first time, I will do it the second time, and, you know, I will be ethical, very smart, very responsible, like we did,” he said.
