"...Sajwani, an associate of Trumps since 2005 when they nearly went into business together on twin Trump towers in Dubai, according to CNN, had previously partnered with Trump on a pair of golf courses. The first of those was set to open in the first quarter of this year.
Sajwani has said why he likes to deal with Trumpand why dealing with him now that hes president is even more appealing. "He had a strong brandand no question in the last 12 months, his brand became stronger and more global. I think it will have a positive impact on sales," Sajwani told CNN in November after Trump's election.
As recently as Tuesday, NBC News reported that Sajwani was planning to use his close relationship with the Trump childrensons Eric and Donald Jr. are taking over the president-elect's businessto further collaborate with the Trump organization.
"All his three children are very much involved, and I think under their leadership we will have no issue in expanding and growing and maintaining our business relation," he said.
"My wife and Ivanka are very good friends," he added. "They send emails. She's been here to my house. We've been in New York having lunch and dinners with them regularly. And, you know, you enjoy working with somebodyit's not only cold business relation."
