...................Both Trump and Kushner—who also works as his father-in-law’s peace envoy—have waxed lyrical about the $1.4 billion project.
In her podcast appearance, Ivanka Trump, 44, said, “We developed the opportunity to help realize its potential and transform it, but with a lot of restraint and care because the land is so beautiful.”
They said they happened upon it by accident, adding, “We were on a friend’s boat, and we stopped for a swim. Effectively, that’s how we found it. We swam to the islands. We went on a hike, barefoot all the way, up to the top. And we were just captivated.”
Her comments sparked a furious response from Albanians, and the Trump-Kushner plan has now also prompted a reaction from Albanian authorities. According to Politico, the country’s anti-corruption prosecutors from a specialist task force called SPAK have launched an investigation into changes that were made to the island’s conservation and protected status in 2024.
