Incoming President Donald Trump’s business deals span the globe. Trump-branded skyscrapers, golf courses and hotels stretch from Dubai to Azerbaijan to the Philippines.

Government ethics experts have strongly criticized Trump’s refusal to divest ownership of any of his businesses. But they point to his ongoing foreign deals with those connected to power as the most troubling.

“These foreign deals are fertile ground for corruption,” Norman Eisen, the White House chief ethics lawyer under President Obama, told ProPublica. "When there's a pre-existing relationship, there can be wink, wink, nod, nod, or even a private whisper that turns into a quid pro quo.”

“He has to get rid of his foreign deals,” said Matthew T. Sanderson, an attorney at Caplin & Drysdale who has served as legal counsel on three Republican presidential campaigns.

Trump’s Byzantine business structures and his lack of disclosures -- he has released neither his tax returns nor details of his foreign deals -- make it difficult to get a full picture of the incoming president’s business relationships. But using government records, Trump’s own local disclosures and press reports, we’ve identified 10 Trump deals in which he has partnered with power players abroad.

We asked the Trump Organization about each of these deals. We’ve included the responses they gave.

Trump received between $100,000 and $1 million in royalties in 2015 from the project, according to his federal financial disclosures. He received no royalties from the project in 2016. The Trump Organization was "involved quite keenly" in the project and given monthly progress reports during construction, according to the Times of India.The project was being investigated by police and the state government last fall for building permit issues. The status of that investigation isn’t clear.

Trump partnered with Indonesian billionaire Hary Tanoesoedibjo on management and branding deals for a resort and residential complex in Bali and a 1,700-acre resort in West Java. Hary Tanoe, as he’s known locally, has his sights set on becoming Indonesia’s president. He launched his own political party in 2015, proclaiming he was “ready to fix Indonesia so that it can be better.” Hary (right of Trump in the accompanying photo) has been active in opposition parties against President Joko Widodo. He lost a vice presidential bid in 2014. As the New York Times has detailed, Hary has introduced Trump to several prominent Indonesian politicians, including the deputy speaker of the country’s parliament and another who is at the center of a corruption scandal. Trump’s deals with Hary also involve Chinese and South Korean state-controlled companies. Sinosure, a Chinese state company, is putting $425 million into the West Java project. The funding is for a theme park, which will be built by a Chinese state-owned company. Part of the development will also be a "smart city,” which will be funded in part by a South Korean state-owned firm. (Photo: Trump Hotel Collection) (Photo: Trump Hotel Collection)

Antonio, was named as an informal, unpaid economic envoy to the U.S. by President Rodrigo Duterte shortly before Election Day. Antonio (left of Trump in the accompanying photo) visited New York City’s Trump Tower after the election, but he didn’t meet with the president-elect. Antonio told Bloomberg that he viewed his role as helping “enlarge the relationship between the two countries.” He said his business ties to Trump would be an “asset.” Century City officials told ProPublica in a statement that Antonio will serve as a liaison between U.S.and Philippine companies, and not on behalf of the respective countries’ governments. They also said no new deals are being brokered. (Photo: Lifestyleasia) (Photo: Lifestyleasia)

In 2013, Trump began working with billionaire developer Hussain Ali Sajwani. Among their projects: the 18-hole Trump International Golf Club billed in promotional materials as the “Beverly Hills of Dubai” and branding for a $6 billion development in Dubai, with villas selling for as much as $9.5 million each. A second golf course, designed by Tiger Woods and named the Trump World Golf Club Dubai, is set for completion in 2018. Sajwani has engaged in several controversial land deals with senior government officials in the United Arab Emirates. The Emirati government owns most of the land in Dubai and land sales are a key source of revenue. During Trump’s recent press conference, he said Sajwani (left of Trump in the accompanying photo) had offered him $2 billion worth of development deals in Dubai, which the President-elect turned down. Officials at Sajwani’s firm, DAMAC Properties, confirmed such an offer had been made. (Photo: trumpgolfdubai.com) (Photo: trumpgolfdubai.com)

Trump Towers Istanbul opened in 2012 after a branding deal between Trump and Turkey’s largest media magnate, Aydın Doğan. Dogan and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan have clashed at times. In 2009, Doğan’s company was fined $2.5 billion in a tax case, and Erdoğan called for his supporters to boycott the company’s television stations and newspapers. But they’ve recently enjoyed a detente. The Turkish government praised Doğan’s media group for helping Erdoğan broadcast a message to the Turkish people during last year’s failed military coup. Trump worked on the tower deal with Doğan’s son-in-law Mehmet Ali Yalçındağ. In a post-Election Day phone call with Erdoğan, Trump reportedly referred to Yalçındağ (left of Trump in the accompanying photo) as a “close friend” and told Erdoğan that Yalcindag is “your great admirer.” (Photo: PRNewsFoto/The Trump Organization) (Photo: PRNewsFoto/The Trump Organization)

Canouan, a small island in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, has been described by Businessweek as the place "where the billionaires go to get away from the millionaires." Luxury development began in 1994, when a company called Canouan Resorts Development signed a 99-year lease with the country's government to develop 1,200 acres on the island. In 2003, Trump partnered with the company to operate a resort casino, called Trump Club Privee, and to develop 25 villas and a championship golf course designed by professional golfer Jim Fazio. Trump earned $3 million from Canouan in 2016, from land sales, according to his federal financial disclosure. But the affiliated casino and resort faltered, and the golf course is no longer branded with Trump’s name. Canouan Resorts Development did not respond to requests for comment. Fazio told ProPublica he has “no idea” when and why the deal ended.

That company is run by

who is the son of Ziya Mammadov , the transportation minister of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

In 2015, Trump brokered a licensing deal for a luxury hotel tower in Baku with the son of the Azerbaijan’s transportation minister, Ziya Mammadov. The younger Mammadov, Anar, is viewed by Western intelligence services and analysts as a proxy for his father and the Azerbaijani ruling elite. Leaked State Department cables described the elder Mammadov as "notoriously corrupt, even for Azerbaijan" and accused him of involvement in highway contracts awarded to a former senior Iranian military official in the Republican Guard. "We assume Mammadov is a silent partner in these contracts," a cable said. “If you did your due diligence, you’d learn that the minister of transport was one of the more corrupt public officials in Azerbaijan and his son was only in business because of his father,” Richard Kauzlarich, a former ambassador to Azerbaijan, told ProPublica. The Baku-Trump hotel was not completed, but Trump earned more than $2.8 million in hotel management fees between 2015 and 2016, according to federal financial disclosures. Trump Organization officials told ProPublica in a statement that the project was plagued with delays for more than a year, prompting Trump to end his “association with this project and reallocate our resources.” (Full statement here.)

who counted Mikheil Saakashvili , Georgia's former president, as a partner in the deal.

A planned condominium tower in the Georgian Black Sea resort town of Batumi was announced in 2012 with then-President Mikheil Saakashvili. Trump had agreed to license his name on the 47-story tower, which he dubbed the “Monte Carlo of the Caucasus.” A year later, work was stopped after Saakashvili (left of Trump in the accompanying photo) was ousted and fled in exile. His successor, Bidzina Ivanishvili, told reporters that Trump “did not invest in Georgia” and likened the deal to a trick. “They gave him money and they both played along,” she said. In December 2016, Trump’s partner on the deal, Silk Road Group, said the long-delayed $250 million project would continue. But on Jan. 4th, the Trump Organization and the Silk Road Group issued a joint statement saying they had decided to "formally end the development of Trump Tower, Batumi." (Full statement here.)
