Eric Trump, the son of President-elect Trump, on Wednesday revealed a video rendering of a new Trump Tower project launching in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Trump, executive vice president of the Trump Organization, shared the video rendering in a post on X of what marks the Trump Organization’s first major project in Saudi Arabia.
"Incredibly proud to officially launch a project that has been underway for many months, Trump Tower - Jeddah!" he wrote. "Thank you to our partners @dar_global - This will be our 5th project together and among the most luxurious buildings anywhere in the world!"
In the video, the rendering of the potential future high-rise residential tower is emblazoned with the Trump name.

The Trump Organization is developing the project with Dar Global, a luxury international real estate developer.
The project aims to target "the luxury Saudi Arabian market and international investors," according to a press release from July on the Trump Organization’s website.

"This collaboration embodies our shared vision of creating landmark developments that exude luxury, quality, and sophistication," Trump said in a statement at the time.
With President-elect Trump set to return to the White House in January, it’s possible the Trump Organization’s business dealings in the Middle East could become a subject of scrutiny.
