Saudi Arabian real estate developer Dar Al Arkan announced Sunday that it had signed a deal with the Trump Organization to use the company's brand for a $4 billion project in Oman, The New York Times reported.
The deal — details of which were made public in a regulatory filing on the Saudi Exchange — was helmed primarily by former President Donald Trump himself, according to the Times. The deal will reportedly finance Trump-branded real estate projects throughout Oman, including "residential villas, a hotel, and a golf course."
