U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that his eldest son has arranged to reimburse a Russian businessman for expenses incurred during a recent wedding celebration. The president stated that his son told him he would pay back the individual for the contribution.

According to the president, the Russian businessman covered the cost of two days of wedding festivities held in the Bahamas. The payments were described as covering the celebration’s expenses, though the exact amount was not disclosed.

Trump added that his son had agreed to return the funds to the Russian donor. He emphasized that the repayment would be made directly by his son, indicating a personal settlement rather than a corporate transaction.

The Russian businessman has been identified as an oligarch with links to the Kremlin. No further details about his identity or the nature of his relationship with the Trump family were provided.

The president’s remarks were made during a public appearance, and no official documentation of the repayment has been released. No additional comments have been offered by the parties involved.
