Donald Trump Jr, son of former US President Donald Trump, visited the Taj Mahal today as part of his ongoing trip to India. Accompanied by a small delegation, he toured the iconic 17th-century monument in Agra and spent time observing its intricate marble craftsmanship and architectural features.
During the visit, Trump Jr was briefed by officials from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) on the history, construction, and preservation efforts associated with the Taj Mahal. He expressed admiration for the monument, acknowledging its global cultural significance and the engineering brilliance of its Mughal-era creators.
Security arrangements were strengthened across the monument complex ahead of his arrival, with authorities coordinating closely to ensure a smooth and organized tour. Visitors present at the site were allowed to continue entry with minimal disruption, officials said.
Trump Jr interacted informally with guides and staff during the walkthrough, asking questions about restoration projects, visitor footfall, and conservation challenges faced by one of the world’s most famous heritage sites.
Local tourism stakeholders welcomed the visit, noting that high-profile international guests help highlight Agra’s cultural importance and reinforce India’s position as a leading global destination. They added that such visits contribute to raising awareness about the need for continued heritage preservation.
The visit to the Taj Mahal was part of Trump Jr’s broader itinerary in India, which includes business discussions and engagements with private sector representatives. He is expected to continue his travel schedule with additional meetings in the coming days.
