The firm’s first official project in Australia will bring “the prestige and allure of a world-class luxury brand” to the country, the Trump Organization’s executive vice president Eric Trump said.

Donald Trump has faced criticism that the company profits unfairly due to his influence as president despite his pledge before starting his second term to have no involvement with the management of the business while in office.
