Trump’s son Eric to join father’s state visit to China
The move could raise concerns in Washington, given that the US president’s personal wealth and business dealings are managed by his family
US President Donald Trump’s son Eric Trump and his wife, Lara, will accompany the president on his trip next month to China, a spokeswoman for the family organisation said on Tuesday.
Two sources earlier said members of Trump’s family, including Eric, were considering joining Trump on his highly anticipated May 14-15 visit, potentially to contribute to US-China business relations.
The spokeswoman said that Eric, who manages his father’s business empire, would go in a personal capacity.
“Eric and Lara Trump are proud to accompany the president on his state visit,” said the Trump Organisation spokeswoman Kimberly Benza.
“Eric is deeply proud of his father and the accomplishments of this term, and is attending in a personal capacity as a supportive son.
