Trump Jr. visits Serbia amid ongoing political protests

Donald Trump Jr. recently visited Belgrade, Serbia, during a time of intense protests against President Aleksandar Vucic. His trip coincided with plans to build a Trump International Hotel in the city, the first of its kind in Europe. The hotel is set to be constructed on a historic site, formerly the Yugoslav Ministry of Defense, which was bombed by NATO years ago. The Serbian government currently owns the land, but opposition leaders are voicing concerns about the deal, suggesting they may terminate it if there is a change in power. During his visit, Trump Jr. met with President Vucic to discuss U.S. foreign aid to Serbia. This meeting has raised questions about the relationship between U.S. foreign policy and the Trump family's business interests. The political climate in Serbia is shifting, as Vucic may need to form a new government or call for new elections later this year. A spokesperson for Trump Jr. stated that the visit was primarily about interviewing Vucic for a podcast, not about foreign relations or real estate deals. They dismissed concerns about a potential conflict of interest.
