Trump Survives Assassination Attempt: Are His Middle East Business Ventures at Risk?
In a moment that shocked the world, presidential candidate Donald Trump faced an unexpected assassination attempt at his rally in Pennsylvania. Somehow, a 20-year-old man with an AR-15-style rifle got close enough to shoot Trump, hitting his right ear and leaving his face streaked with blood.
While he is currently recovering well, the attack not only posed a risk on his life but also risks severing his business alliances in the Middle East.
What Are The Businesses At Risk?
Recently, the Trump organization partnered with Saudi Arabian real estate developer Dar Global for a major project. A Trump Tower is set to launch in Jeddah and be completed around 2028.
Joining his string of projects in the Middle East is a major resort planned to open in 2028. Partnering up with Dar Global, his organization will launch a 500 million dollar luxury resort known as Trump International Oman, which will feature an 18-hole golf course.
Is There Going To Be A Delay?
Seeing how Trump recently evaded the attack, which was almost successful, there is a big chance that he will potentially delay all his Middle East projects. Along with that, investors may begin to feel concerned or hesitant in investing in Trump Organization projects.
This may result in investors’ hesitation to pay funds, as well as potentially increasing costs and altering construction plans.
With all that being said, these are mere guesses as to the future of his business conglomerate in the Middle East. What do you think will happen?
