The Trump Organization and its vast network of businesses has slowed since President Donald Trump took office, according to his son, Eric Trump.
Eric Trump runs the family business alongside his brother, Donald Trump, Jr., and said his father's presidency has complicated their ability to conduct new business enterprises, but held their view was that it was just a fact of life as long as he held office, The Hill reported Saturday.
"We have the best properties in the world; they're doing extraordinarily well," Eric Trump said. "And, if we have to take a break for an eight-year period of time or a four-year period, then it is what it is."
The family's position has been that the Trump Organization would refrain from entering into new business while Trump was president in order to not risk the appearance of impropriety and conflicts. Eric Trump said business dealings were carefully scrutinized before being undertaken.
"Making sure every 'i' is dotted and every 't' is crossed and everything is perfect — does that kill deals? One hundred percent," he said. "Is it the right thing to do when your father is commander in chief? One hundred percent it is. Will we have to do it the day he is out of office? No, we won't."
