RUSSIA/TRUMP BUSINESS: “US Billionaire Donald Trump has revealed plans to construct a skyscraper in Russia, similar to New York’s famous Trump Tower. The plans were confirmed during his visit to Moscow for the Miss Universe 2013 pageant taking place at Crocus City Hall.
‘I have plans for the establishment of business in Russia. Now, I am in talks with several Russian companies to establish this skyscraper,’ Trump said. However, he did not mention the names of the participants, or discuss negotiations and the size of the investment.
Billionaire Araz Agalarov is the owner of Crocus City Hall, where the Miss Universe finals are being held. He confirmed that his company, Crocus Group, had been participating in the talks. ‘We started talking about joint work in the field of real estate a few days ago,’ Agalarov told Itar-Tass.
Crocus Group is heavily involved with the Miss Universe 2013 pageant. The event is co-owned by NBC Universal and Trump, who is currently in Moscow to award the *Miss Universe 2013* crown to the winning contestant Saturday night.”
