The Trump family is involved in Kazakhstan's mining industry, with related projects having received $1.6 billion in support from the U.S. government

According to the Financial Times, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump merged with a key mineral group in Kazakhstan through a shell company, which received up to $1.6 billion in support from the U.S. government last year for the development of a tungsten mine project.

The tungsten mine project involves the Katpar and Upper Kairakty deposits in northern Kazakhstan, with financing previously provided by institutions such as the Export-Import Bank of the United States. Trump's sons joined the advisory board of the relevant company and hold shares by the end of 2024. The report suggests that this is another case of the Trump family's business empire being linked to U.S. government interests.
