Trump says he has 'nothing to do with the family business'

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump ​said on Tuesday that he has ‌nothing to do with his family business as the ‌Trump Organization and a Saudi developer look to open the latest Trump hotel in the Maldives.

During a meeting with the Saudi ⁠crown prince ‌in the Oval Office, Trump was asked about a possible ‍conflict of interest for the Trump Organization to do business with Saudi Arabia while he is ​president.

Trump responded: "I have ‌nothing to do with the family business. I have left, and I've devoted 100% of my energy. What my family does is fine.⁠ They do business ​all over.

"They've ​done very little with Saudi Arabia actually. I'm sure they ‍could do ⁠a lot, and anything they've done has been very good,⁠" he added.
