US President Donald Trump’s second son Eric, who oversees the family business empire, is among the US entourage for the state visit to China.
The executive vice-president of his father’s businesses, Eric oversees investments in areas including real estate and golf. More recently, he has pivoted to cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, focusing on decentralised finance.
Lara Trump is a former co-chair of the Republican National Committee and now hosts the chat show “My View with Lara Trump” on Fox News.
The couple were accompanying the president in a personal capacity, the Trump Organisation told Reuters last month.
“[Eric] does not have business ventures in China nor plans on doing business in China,” the conglomerate’s spokeswoman, Kimberly Benza, was quoted as saying.
