HANOI (Reuters) -The Trump Organization and its local partner are exploring building a skyscraper in Vietnam's business hub Ho Chi Minh City as Eric Trump is expected to visit Vietnam this week, a Vietnamese government document seen by Reuters shows.

The visit by the U.S. President's son comes just after the Trump Organization received the green light from Vietnam's government for a separate $1.5 billion golf project and as the Southeast Asian export-reliant nation is in talks with Washington to avoid punitive trade tariffs.

Ho Chi Minh City officials are invited to "attend a dinner party with Eric Trump, senior vice president of the Trump Organization," on Thursday evening, the internal document seen by Reuters said.
