The Trump Organization is planning to start construction this year on its first project in Romania after securing an initial permit to build a luxury development in Transylvania, according to people familiar with the matter.

Eric Trump, US President Donald Trump’s second-oldest son and president of the Trump Organization, is expected to travel to Romania in the coming months to kick off the works in the western city of Cluj Napoca, said people familiar with the plans, who asked not to be identified because the information isn’t public.
