Indonesia tycoon to meet Trump's sons to discuss resort projects
Visit illustrates tricky task for Trump in divorcing himself entirely from his sprawling business empire
Jakarta
INDONESIAN tycoon Hary Tanoesoedibjo will fly to New York next week for meetings with US President-elect Donald Trump's sons on resort projects in the South-east Asian nation. Days later, he will watch in Washington DC as Mr Trump is sworn in as US president.
While their association began long before Mr Trump ran for office, Mr Tanoesoedibjo's itinerary, with its mix of corporate and political conversations, illustrates the tricky task for Mr Trump in divorcing himself entirely from his sprawling international business empire - with interests in about 20 countries - once he's in office.
