Ivanka Trump trolled for buying ‘fixer-upper’ private island
Ivanka Trump described plans for a $1.4 billion luxury hotel on a Mediterranean island, prompting criticism and an official review in Albania. In a May 31 podcast with David Senra, Trump said she and Jared Kushner discovered the site while swimming off Albania and pursued the Sazan Island project with “restraint and care.” The development, backed by Kushner’s Affinity Partners, involves a private island purchase and seeks to transform the area. The Daily Show aired a segment in which Michael Costa mocked the venture, while local environmental groups protested potential impacts on coastal wetlands home to flamingos and sea turtles. Albania’s government announced an investigation the Monday after the interview.
