QATAR
The documents provided to the Committee by Mazars show that, in 2018, Qatar paid
more than $130,000 in emoluments for units in Trump World Tower in New York.

Prior to
President Trump’s election as President, Qatar already owned three units in Trump World Tower.
In January 2018—after Saudi Arabia’s blockade of Qatar had been underway for more than six
months—Qatar bought an additional unit in Trump World Tower.
334
Later in 2018, Qatar sold
one of the units it already owned which had incurred lower monthly charges than the unit it
purchased earlier that year. As a result of these transactions, the monthly charges Qatar paid to
Trump World Tower increased from $8,592 before its 2018 purchase and subsequent sale to
settle at $9,540 in late 2018. Accounting for the country’s 2018 purchase and sale, this report
estimates that Qatar paid $465,744 to the Trump World Tower for the properties it owned during
President Trump’s term in office.

Qatar bought the unit from an entity called 61-02 81st Street LLC. The Committee’s Democratic staff
does not know who the beneficial owner of this entity is. See New York City Department of Finance, Document ID:
