NEW DELHI: Donald Trump Jr. says any talk that his family is profiting from his father's presidency is "nonsense" as he kicked off a highly publicized visit to India to promote real estate deals that bear his family's name.
The eldest son of President Donald Trump arrived in India on Tuesday to meet the promoters and buyers of Trump brand luxury homes in the country, raising concerns that using the name of the American president to promote business ventures internationally is tricky ethical territory.
But Trump Jr. told an Indian television channel that his family was actually missing out on business opportunities because his father had pledged to conduct no new foreign business while in office.
The real estate ventures he is promoting were signed before his father took office.

Russia says ‘progress’ in talks with Ukraine in Abu Dhabi
MOSCOW: Russian President Vladimir Putin’s envoy Kirill Dmitriev said on Thursday that there was progress and a positive movement forward in negotiations on peace in Ukraine, as delegations from Russia, Ukraine and the United States prepared for talks in Abu Dhabi.
Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022 after eight years of fighting in the east, triggering the deadliest war in Europe since World War Two and biggest confrontation between Moscow and the West since the depths of the Cold War.
Dmitriev, Putin’s envoy on investment who has played a central role in US-mediated negotiations on Ukraine, said that “warmongers” from Europe and Britain were “constantly trying to interfere with this process, constantly trying to meddle in it.”
“And the more such attempts there are, the more we see that progress is definitely being made,” he told reporters ahead of the talks. “There is positive movement forward.”
He said active work was underway on restoring relations with the United States, including within the framework of a US-Russia working group on economy.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent took part in the previous meeting of the working group in Miami on January 31 along with Dmitriev, US President Donald Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.
