The Trump Organization confirmed it will construct a new Trump Tower in Saudi Arabia, according to a company announcement Monday.

The firm, owned and led by Donald Trump since 1971 before he handed over the reins to his children upon winning the election to become the 45th president, announced it partnered with a Saudi-owned developer Dar Global to build the tower in Jeddah. It's the first building that the Trump Organization would develop in the country.

"We are thrilled to expand our footprint in the Middle East and bring the Trump standard of luxury to the region through our long-standing relationship with Dar Global," Eric Trump, the former president's son and executive vice president of the company, said in a statement.

"This collaboration embodies our shared vision of creating landmark developments that exude luxury, quality, and sophistication."
