A Trump Tower is planned for construction in Tbilisi, Georgia, on land partially owned by Uta Ivanishvili, the son of Bidzina Ivanishvili, a billionaire who faces US sanctions. The project is a joint venture between the Trump Organization, managed by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, and a consortium of four Georgian firms. Bidzina Ivanishvili, who is considered the de facto leader of Georgia, was sanctioned by the Biden administration in 2024 for actions undermining Georgia's democracy. The Trump Organization's involvement has raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest, especially given the political ties of the Ivanishvili family. Critics, including anti-corruption advocates, suggest that this project may not be merely a business venture but could also have political motivations, especially as it has been touted by the ruling Georgian Dream party as a sign of confidence in the country's economy. The site for the tower is an old Soviet-era horse-racing track, with ongoing negotiations for land transfer to Central Park Avenue LLC, the future owner of the site. The White House has stated that the president and his family do not engage in conflicts of interest.
