Trump Tower project in Syria: Symbolic or strategic?


In a surprising development that caught the attention of political and economic circles alike, the United Arab Emirates-based Tiger Real Estate Group announced its intention to build a skyscraper bearing the name of US President Donald Trump in the Syrian capital of Damascus. He added that the name Trump will be engraved in gold on the tower’s facade, and that the construction phase could take up to three years following the acquisition of necessary permits and a legal agreement with the Trump Organization, which owns the brand. The spokesperson said that the lifting of US sanctions “opens an important window for the country.” He emphasized that the Syrian government “will not allow investments to become a backdoor for political interference or the imposition of external conditions.”
