Ivanka Trump Kushner was recently interviewed about her and her husband’s plans to develop Sazan Island, off the coast of Albania, into a major resort. Five miles of private beachfront. Thousands of hotel rooms. She says she wants it to be the kind of setting that people want. It’s clear that she has no contact with most “people.”
Sazan Island is owned by the state. The Kushners intend to privatize and develop it. The president of Albania welcomes foreign investment because Albania is poor, and he wants to bolster the economy and create jobs.
Albanians are not happy. In fact, thousands of them are rioting against the deal, due to the threat to the island’s natural beauty and biodiversity. It’s possible that their riot is intensified by their views of the Trump family.
The people in the streets may block it.

Billionaires are scanning the world for any missed real estate that they can turn into profit, whether it is buying farmland in the US or islands off the coast of Albania. Their pickings may include public owned lands like national parks that can be used for oil drilling, other forms of mining or even public schools transferred into private ownership. Their greed knows no bounds. The desire this administration to appropriate Greenland is as much about natural resources and profit as it is about national defense, particularly since we already have a base in Greenland. Likewise, we should question the current regime’s motives and obsession with Cuba.
