Donald Trump Jr. met with Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić on March 11, 2025, his second visit in six months, to promote a Trump International Hotel project in Belgrade—the first Trump hotel in Europe. The 175-room hotel with 1,500 luxury apartments will be built on the site of the former Yugoslav Ministry of Defense bombed by NATO. The visit occurred amid massive anti-government protests with over 100,000 demonstrators. Trump Jr. conducted a podcast interview with Vučić and expressed support for the embattled leader, marking what NYT called "perhaps the most explicit mixing so far" of U.S. foreign policy and Trump family financial interests in the second term.
