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

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."
