   U.S.  business  tycoon  Donald  Trump  intends  to  build  a high-rise
   building in the former Soviet republic of Georgia.
   Georgia's   presidential  press  office  and  the  Trump  organization
   confirmed  Wednesday that Trump had signed a letter of intent to build
   one of his self-named towers in the country.
   Trump  signed  the  deal  with  the  Georgian business group Silk Road
   during a visit of President Mikheil Saakashvili to New York.
   An  executive vice president of the Trump organization, Michael Cohen,
   said Mr. Saakashvili was present at the signing.
   Cohen said in a statement that while the letter of intent was just the
   first  in  a series of agreements, it demonstrated Trump's interest in
   investing in Georgia.
   Mr.   Saakashvili's   press   office  said  potential  sites  for  the
   development included Tbilisi and along the Black Sea coast.
