The companies tied to the apparent project in Saudi Arabia may be the most puzzling. In August, Trump incorporated a total of 8 firms with the name Jeddah. Four were dissolved within months; the remaining four remain active. There has been no public disclosure about the purpose of any of the companies.
Trump’s apparent business efforts in Saudi Arabia could raise eyebrows, especially because he said in February that the nation “blew up the World Trade Center,” an apparent reference to the 9/11 attacks.
Trump campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Another executive in Trump’s company also did not return a call Wednesday.
