Before stepping into the Oval Office, Donald Trump was widely known as a real estate mogul at the helm of the Trump Organization, the family empire now steered by his sons, Eric and Donald Jr.
The family business is rapidly expanding, breaking ground across several continents as Trump, who has stepped aside from its daily operations, serves as president of the United States.
Many have raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest involving Trump's family and ongoing U.S. trade negotiations with foreign countries.
Newsweek has reached out to the Trump Organization for comment via email on Friday.
Why It Matters
Concerns over blurred lines between politics and personal business have repeatedly surfaced during both Trump administrations. The Trump Organization continues to pursue real estate ventures across the world while Trump is in the Oval Office.
Trump's investments, assets and business interests are in a trust managed by his children. The organization hired an ethics advisor earlier this year, William Burck, who has since been fired over his legal involvement with Harvard University in a case against the president.
The administration is actively negotiating trade deals with a range of countries following the president's imposition and sudden temporary suspension of "reciprocal" tariffs, part of a broader effort to reduce the U.S. trade deficit.
In addition to real estate, Trump has profited from various business ventures during and after his time in office, including his stake in Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social, and a cryptocurrency meme coin bearing his name. The two efforts have begun to overlap, with Trump Media recently announcing plans to raise funds to purchase Bitcoin.
What to Know
The Trump Organization, which operates hotels, residential and commercial buildings, and golf courses, owns and operates dozens of properties worldwide, including in North America, the United Kingdom, the Middle East, and Asia.

Breaking Ground in Vietnam
The Trump Organization has continued to announce new partnerships and construction projects around the world. In a May 21 statement, the company said it had "officially broken ground on the first Trump-branded golf and residential development in Vietnam – Trump International, Hung Yen."
It's the first Trump-branded project in Vietnam and will feature "two championship golf courses," villas, a spa, and dining facilities. Eric Trump said the country "represents one of the most dynamic and promising markets in the world today."
Dang Thanh Tam, Chairman of Kinh Bac City Development Holding Corporation, said in the press release: "From the moment we began discussions with The Trump Organization, it was clear we shared a common vision, Hung Yen has the potential to become the premier destination for golf and luxury living in Asia, and with Trump's unmatched global expertise in championship golf developments, we are extremely excited to bring this vision to life."
Reuters has reported that in addition, a Trump Tower in Ho Chi Minh City, estimated at around $1 billion, could start next year.
Eric Trump visited the country in May. In April, Trump imposed and then paused "reciprocal" tariffs of 46 percent on the country.
New Projects in India
In early May, the Trump Residences in Gurgaon, India, completely sold out on launch day, "recording an unprecedented ₹3,250 crore in allotments," around $3.8 million, according to a Trump Organization press release. The Trump Towers Delhi-NCR launched in 2018 in Gurugram, India, and has yet to open.
Kalpesh Mehta, founder of Tribeca Developers, said in a May 9 press release: "Trump Residences Gurugram is not just a real estate project - it's a landmark moment for India's luxury market."
Earlier this year, the Trump Organization announced the launch of "Trump World Center Prune," a 1.6 million square feet commercial real estate venture featuring two glass towers, as well as a "luxury retail boulevard."
More Developments in UAE
The Trump family is no stranger to the Middle East, with several financial and organizational ties to the region.
Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE)'s commercial hub, is already home to the Trump International Golf Club. In April, The Trump Organization announced plans for a new addition, the Trump International Hotel and Tower, a luxury high-rise slated to be in the heart of the city. The tower would be the first in the region and marks the fifth time Dar Global and The Trump Organization are partnering.
New Development Planned in Qatar
Qatar, which has been in the headlines over its role in negotiating peace deals and gifting Trump with a new Air Force One plane, is also expecting a new Trump development.
At the end of April, The Trump Organization announced a new $5.5 billion Simaisma development of a luxury golf resort north of Doha. The development will include Trump-branded beachside villas and an 18-hole golf course.
Saudi Arabia Expansion
The Trump Organization frequently partners with Dar Global—the international arm of Saudi-based luxury developer Dar Al Arkan—on hotel, tower and golf course projects across the Middle East.
In December 2024, the Trump Organization issued a press release about a new development in the coastal Saudi city of Jeddah. Ziad El Chaar, CEO of Dar Global, said in the press release that the firm is "delighted to strengthen our ongoing relationship with The Trump Organization and expand our portfolio by delivering premium properties to redefine Saudi Arabia's high-growth real estate market." The Jeddah Tower is estimated to cost $530 million.
Two additional Trump Organization projects in the country's capital, Riyadh, are in the works, with Eric Trump telling Reuters in December that they will include at least a tower and be developed in partnership with Dar Global.
Oman Construction
A Trump International Hotel in Oman is under development and slated for completion by December 2028, according to the project's website. The venture underscores a broader surge in luxury real estate development across the Gulf region.
The $500 million project is close to Oman's capital, Muscat, offering a golf course, 140 rooms, a spa, and other facilities.
Serbia Hotel
Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and his firm Affinity Partners signed a deal with the Serbian government to redevelop part of Belgrade. The deal is in partnership with the Trump Organization, but an investigation has been opened into a potential forgery of government documents related to the area's protected status.
Open Facilities
There are over a dozen already opened and operating Trump Organization facilities, including golf courses across the U.S., in California, Maryland, Florida, New Jersey, North Carolina, and New York.
Internationally, the group has golf courses across the United Kingdom, Ireland, Dubai, and Indonesia.
Commercially, the company has holdings in major U.S. cities, like the Trump Tower in New York, as well as a handful of others in the city, and one in San Francisco. Residential units are available in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Illinois, Florida, Nevada, as well as India, Philippines, South Korea, Turkey, Indonesia, and Uruguay.

Fire kills 12 people who were reportedly locked up inside drug rehab center in Mexico
Why Trump is pushing military help for Mexico to help fight cartels Why Trump is pushing military help for Mexico Why Trump is pushing military help for Mexico A fire in a drug rehabilitation center in the violence-plagued Mexican state of Guanajuato killed 12 people and injured at least three others, authorities said Sunday. The fire broke out early Sunday in the town of San Jose Iturbe, where the municipal government said it was still investigating what caused the deadly blaze. "We express our solidarity with the families of those who have been killed while they tried to overcome addictions," the municipal government said in a statement, adding that it will help to pay for the funeral expenses of those killed. Experts were gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses to establish "the reasons for the tragic incident," the Guanajuato state prosecutor's office said. Mexican media outlets reported that the victims of the fire had been locked up inside the rehab center. A woman lits candles at the rehabilitation center where 12 people died due to a fire in San Jose Iturbide community, Guanajuato state, Mexico on June 1, 2025. MARIO ARMAS/AFP via Getty Images Mexico's privately run drug rehabilitation centers are often abusive, clandestine, unregulated and underfunded. They have been the targets of similar attacks in the past. The industrial and agricultural state of Guanajuato has for years been the scene of a bloody turf battle between the Jalisco New Generation cartel and a local gang, the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel. Guanajuato has the highest number of homicides of any state in Mexico. Just last month, investigators found 17 bodies during a search for missing persons in an abandoned house in Guanajuato. Days before that, seven people, including children, were gunned down in the same region. Mexican drug gangs have killed suspected street-level dealers from rival gangs sheltering at rehab facilities in the past. Officials also believe cartels sometimes execute patients who refuse to join their ranks. In April, gunmen shot up a drug rehab clinic in the troubled Sinaloa state, killing at least nine people. In July 2022, six people were shot dead at a drug rehab center near the western Mexican city of Guadalajara. Two years before that, heavily armed men stormed a drug rehab center in the central city of Irapuato and killed 27 people. In 2010, 19 people were killed in an attack on a rehab center in Chihuahua, a city in northern Mexico. More than a dozen other attacks on such facilities occurred in the decade between those massacres. Agence France-Presse contributed to this report.

Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures fall as US-China trade tensions flare up again
US stock futures pulled back on Monday after China added fuel to simmering trade tensions with the US, setting investors on guard as they turned the page on a bullish May. S&P 500 futures (ES=F) dropped roughly 0.6%, while those on the Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM=F) fell 0.5%. Contracts tied to the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F) retreated 0.7%. China hit back at President Trump's claim that it has violated the Geneva tariff truce on Monday, blaming the US instead for failing to keep up its end of the deal. The mutual finger-pointing has undermined hopes for a revival of trade talks between the two top economies and stoked lingering trade uncertainty. Last week, a federal court struck down significant portions of Trump's duties, including sky-high levies on Chinese imports, only for a higher court to temporarily reverse that decision a day later, reinstating the duties while legal proceedings continue. The US dollar ( fell as markets assessed the shift in trade-war risks, with rising inflation and slowing growth in particular focus. Meanwhile, gold (GC=F) futures rose amid demand for safer assets, as Ukraine's dramatic drone strikes on Russia on Sunday added geopolitical worries to trade fears. In US stocks, the tepid start to June follows a standout May: The S&P 500 (^GSPC) rallied more than 6% in its best month since November 2023 and best May since 1990. The Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) soared 9%, and the Dow (^DJI) notched a 4% gain. Tech stocks led the charge, as investor optimism around AI and resilient economic data fueled risk appetite. Against this backdrop, all eyes now turn to a critical slate of economic data this week — most notably the May nonfarm payrolls report due Friday, which will offer fresh clues on how trade frictions and interest rate expectations are shaping the broader US economy. Earnings season is almost wrapped, with results from CrowdStrike (CRWD), Broadcom (AVGO), DocuSign (DOCU), and Lululemon (LULU) the main points of interest in a smaller week of reports. Yahoo Finance's Alexandra Canal reports: Read more here. Stock markets in Germany and elsewhere are staging a world-beating rally, far outperforming the S&P 500 (^GSPC) this year as President Trump's trade-war push to boost US fortunes apparently backfires. Bloomberg reports: Read more here. Asian stocks fell on Monday, weighed down by escalating geopolitical tensions and fresh trade friction between the US and China. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index (^HSI) led regional losses, sinking 2.2% as renewed sparring between Beijing and Washington spooked investors. Markets in mainland China were closed for a public holiday, but a doubling of steel tariffs to 50% due to take effect Wednesday is set to hit markets as they reopen Tuesday. Elsewhere in Asia, Japan's Nikkei 225 (^N225) declined 1.4%, South Korea's Kospi (^KS11) shed 0.3% and Australia's S&P/ASX 200 (^AXJO) edged down 0.2%.

'We see you': In Trump-era Washington, World Pride 2025 organizers aim to bring 'hope' to LGBTQ+ community
Pride Month in the nation's capital this year is expected to draw hundreds of thousands of participants across three weeks of programming consisting of over 300 events for World Pride 2025, an annual international festival that celebrates the LGBTQ+ community. Organizers for the global celebration this year told ABC News they are emphasizing messages of resistance, resilience and, above all, hope at a time when LGBTQ+ individuals, particularly the transgender community, are being targeted on various fronts by the Trump administration. World Pride 2025 makes its way back to the U.S. for the first time since 2019, when organizers chose New York City to host the festival the same year as the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising. World Pride 2025 events began May 17 and will culminate the weekend of June 7 and 8 with the annual parade and street festival. Included in the programming are events and partnerships with minority groups, including DC Latinx Pride, API Pride, Trans Pride, DC Black Pride, Youth Pride and DC Silver Pride for senior members of the LGBTQ+ community. Ryan Bos is the executive director of the Capital Pride Alliance, which organizes Pride Month programming in D.C. each year. He has been spearheading the planning of World Pride since last year and says that the celebration this year is "more important than ever." "It's surreal on days to think that the country that I was born into, the country that I have grown to have a lot of pride in -- a country that I have devoted my professional and personal time in regards to creating spaces for people to feel welcome, to feel included, to make sure people feel seen and are valued -- that in that country, we are now in a space where overtly, our federal government is saying certain people aren't as valued," Bos said. "And that hurts, and it's scary." During his first weeks in office, Trump signed an executive order declaring that the U.S. government will only recognize a person's gender assigned at birth. More executive orders targeted the transgender community in the military and in athletic spaces. Marissa Miller, founder of the National Trans Visibility March, said that with attention focused on her community, this year, "humanity is on the line." "This is a revolutionary time," she said. "We've been somewhere near here before, but I think that it's been a while since we have been here." As a Black transgender woman, Miller emphasized that some members of the community have always felt like they had target on their backs. "These are dangerous times -- not unprecedented, dangerous times -- for trans people, even more dangerous than they have been because there has been a permission set that says we do not exist," Miller said. In leading Pride Month planning this year, Bos said that security and safety have been at the forefront of many conversations. While D.C. is ready and welcoming, he said that it's important for attendees and participants to understand any potential risks their international friends may have in travel. Organizers and groups from several countries have already opted out of coming to World Pride this year, including those from Canada and some countries in Africa, Miller told ABC News. Ry Schissler, a swimmer and cyclist from Toronto who decided not to travel to the United States for World Pride this year, citing decisions by the Trump administration. Schissler, who identifies as transgender and nonbinary, holds Canadian-American dual citizenship. Schissler's team, the Toronto Purple Fins, a self-described "gender free" swimming group, had planned to come to D.C. in June for the IGLA+ Aquatic Championships and World Pride, but Schissler didn't want to lead the team to a country where the group didn't feel welcomed. "There's so many benefits to participating in sports, particularly team sports, and ... trans people have been discouraged from that and actively banned from it," Schissler said. "In a lot of cases, it's so important to recognize how difficult it is for us to do that, much less travel internationally, to show up to an event where we're clearly not wanted by a lot of people." Even though Schissler and the rest of the team planned to make the trip, they decided against it in the winter following Trump's executive orders. "Wherever I go, I have to be on my toes. And when I'm outside my comfort zone -- the places that I go and know that there are people to support me -- it's hard," Schissler added. With the Trump administration's executive orders targeting LGBTQ+ spaces and diversity equity and inclusion practices, Bos, the World Pride organizer, said that corporate partnerships this year have been more difficult to secure out of fear of losing federal funding. Another one of Trump's January executive orders not only banned DEI practices in the federal government, but also called on those in the private sector to end what the order calls "illegal DEI discrimination and preferences." According to Bos, some companies that had regularly sponsored Capital Pride in the past were "dragging their feet" to commit to World Pride 2025 as they waited for the outcome of the 2024 presidential election and some eventually backed out or lessened their support. Booz Allen Hamilton, Deloitte, Comcast and Darcars are some of the companies that previously supported the Capital Pride Alliance that will not be sponsors for World Pride 2025, according to Bos. ABC News has not received a response after reaching out to the companies for comment. But Bos says that he hopes the community persists, believing that "human decency and respect will ultimately win out." "My hope is that we can show that through World Pride and letting, again, folks know that there are people standing in our corner, that there are people willing to stand up, to be visible, to be heard, and that they're not alone. And that they see hope in the future," he said.
