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.
