Why did Donald Trump Jr turn up in a tiny British enclave looking for money?

AI Summary

long article 5 min

Donald Trump Jr. visited Gibraltar in November, holding meetings at the Hassans law firm, which caters to the ultra-rich. The visit raises questions due to the Trump family resuming foreign commercial deals after ceasing them during Donald Trump's first term as president. While the White House denies any conflicts of interest, critics argue these ventures blur the lines between public office and personal gain. Konstantin Sokolov, a donor to Trump's White House ballroom project, is building a large AI datacentre in Gibraltar. Sources suggest Don Jr.'s meetings focused on attracting investment for his business ventures, though the Trumps have no apparent stake in the datacentre project.
