Now, she and her husband, Jared Kushner, are paving the way for a new hub for ultra-luxury tourism through his private equity firm, Affinity Partners, after receiving preliminary approval from Albania in 2024. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Both Trump and Kushner\u2014who also works as his father-in-law\u2019s peace envoy\u2014have waxed lyrical about the $1.4 billion project. <\/p>\n<p>In her podcast appearance, Ivanka Trump, 44, said, \u201cWe developed the opportunity to help realize its potential and transform it, but with a lot of restraint and care because the land is so beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They said they happened upon it by accident, adding, \u201cWe were on a friend\u2019s boat, and we stopped for a swim. Effectively, that\u2019s how we found it. We swam to the islands. We went on a hike, barefoot all the way, up to the top. And we were just captivated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her comments sparked a furious response from Albanians, and the Trump-Kushner plan has now also prompted a reaction from Albanian authorities. According to Politico, the country\u2019s anti-corruption prosecutors from a specialist task force called SPAK have launched an investigation into changes that were made to the island\u2019s conservation and protected status in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Those changes laid the groundwork for developing it for tourism. <\/p>\n<p>Protests against the project have been ongoing since late May, and Ivanka Trump\u2019s interview seemed to only fan the flames on social media. <\/p>\n<p>With over 1,100 likes, one post said, \u201cAlbania is not for sale! \ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddf1\ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddf1\ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddf1.

One never came, but the scars of that time can still be seen around the island. As of 2024, there were 3,600 bunkers on Sazan, and it\u2019s littered with unexploded ordnance. <\/p>\n<p>The uninhabited paradise sits just north of the Strait of Otranto, which divides the Mediterranean and Adriatic seas.

They\u2019ve also broken out across the water from the island on the Zvernec peninsula. Some have become unruly and in some incidents, violent, The New York Times reports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re excited about the opportunity to create a world-class destination and make one of the largest private investments in the region\u2019s history,\u201d said Asher Abehsera, the chairman of the project\u2019s developer. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Daily Beast has reached out to the Trump Organization and Affinity Partners for comment. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=640\">Trump Goon Lashes Out at Senator\u2019s Son Over Epstein Links<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ivanka Trump has received clear feedback on her latest grift: Albania is not for sale.
