Jared Kushner’s $1.4bn resort has sparked Albania’s biggest protests in years. Is the country’s coast for sale?

Jared Kushner, the son‑in‑law of former U.S. President Donald Trump and founder of Affinity Partners, is planning to develop a high‑end resort there. The proposal has ignited large demonstrations, with onlookers chanting, “Albania is not for sale.” Whether this signals a future the nation desires or a surrender of its land to foreign capital, the question remains contentious.
