Caption: Albanian PM Says 'Science' Will Decide Fate Of Kushner-Linked Luxury Project. Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama said an environmental assessment will determine the fate of a proposed €1.4 billion luxury resort linked to the Trump family. The project in the protected area of Zvërnec is connected to President Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner. Rama said decisions about the development should be based on "science", rather than what he described as "streets and ideology”. The project sparked protests in Albania, with demonstrators opposing the development and some calling for Rama's resignation. Albania has assured the European Commission that the development will comply with EU environmental standards as the country pursues EU membership. Rama defended attracting high-end tourism investment, arguing it could help increase salaries, improve services and support Albania's economy. He said nearly 12 million foreign visitors had travelled to Albania this year but warned that mass tourism was putting pressure on infrastructure, nature and services. Rama said Albania wanted to attract more high-income tourists and would welcome high-end investment from foreign, local and joint ventures.
