DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) – President Donald Trump’s two sons in charge of his global business empire will attend a closed-door event this coming weekend to mark the opening of the Trump International Golf Club in Dubai, organizers said Wednesday.

The ceremony in the Mideast city-state home to the world’s tallest building marks the first major event abroad that Eric and Donald Jr. will attend together since their father’s inauguration.

It also comes as questions still swirl about how the Trump Organization’s many international business interests will affect the administration of America’s 45th president.

Already, a liberal-funded watchdog group has filed a lawsuit alleging his business violates the so-called emolument act of the U.S. Constitution.

Meanwhile, news reports have described Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe huddling with staff over a North Korea ballistic missile launch in front of diners and waiters at his Florida resort this past weekend.
