Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama says a controversial luxury resort development linked to U.S. President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner will move forward despite growing protests. In an interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday, Rama rejected environmental concerns as misinformation and said no formal environmental impact assessment has begun because the project remains in the planning stage. But some land is already being cleared. The proposed development includes the uninhabited island of Sazan and a protected coastal lagoon, drawing opposition from environmental groups. Rama defended Albania’s conservation record and suggested misinformation surrounding the project has been amplified from outside the country.
