Donald Trump first came to the USSR in 1987. The famous developer of that time was invited to make an official visit to Moscow. The American came to Russia with his wife Ivanka. Trump was 40 years old. It is known that during the trip the billionaire discussed possible hotels' projects with the representatives of Soviet elite.
Later, Donald Trump shared the nuances of the conversation with the Soviet authorities in his interview to Playboy. The businessman said that he pointed to the current problem related to the real estate in the USSR. The fact is that at that time it was impossible to become the owner of the land in the country, so Trump could not understand how his colleagues will receive funding for the construction of the hotel, if the whole earth belongs to the country. According to billionaire, he received an answer: "No problem, Mr. Trump. We will do a lease."
Note that Trump didn't build the hotel in Moscow.
Visited the USSR in 1987, Trump was not thrilled with the country. Thus, in one of his interviews, he called the Soviet system a "catastrophe". Then the businessman made a bet on the fast revolution.
