Hussain Sajwani, the chairman of property developer DAMAC, said he wants to expand his relationship with the Trump Organization despite the president’s role in stoking a violent siege last week of the US Capitol. DAMAC is Trump’s partner on an 18-hole golf course and club in Dubai, which opened in 2017.
DAMAC is also building a second 18-hole golf course, the Trump World Golf Club, Dubai, the Trump Organization says on its website.
“We have a great relationship with the Trump Organisation and be assured, we have absolutely no intention to cancel our agreement,” Sajwani said in a statement to CNN Business on Wednesday.
Many companies are seeking to distance themselves from the president and his company following the insurrection on Capitol Hill. Deutsche Bank (DB) has ruled out doing more business with Trump, for example, and Signature Bank has started closing Trump’s personal accounts. New York City is seeking to end the Trump Organization’s contracts to operate the Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point, the Central Park Carousel and the Wollman and Lasker ice skating rinks.
