Donald Trump’s overseas business partners say their companies have already benefited, or expect to gain, from their connection to the president-elect, with some hoping to build new projects under his brand and others seeing the value of their holdings rise.
The result has varied from place to place and has been dependent in part on local forces such as the political climate and individual real-estate markets. Some of the initial jumps in valuation proved unsustainable. In other cases, the Trump Organization has canceled or is re-evaluating some of its deals with international partners. But the results, while early, indicate a relationship with Mr. Trump could be largely valuable for people in business with him abroad.
