Donald Trump's name returns to Dubai golf complex

A Dubai real estate firm has restored Donald Trump's name on a US $6 billion golf complex it is building with the US businessman and presidential hopeful, reported Reuters.

This comes days after it was taken down following his proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States.

Trump prompted an uproar when he made his comments in response to deadly shootings in California by two Muslims, who authorities said were radicalised.

Gold letters spelling out 'Trump International Golf Club' at the entrance to the golf complex being built by Damac Properties, were removed on Thursday, according to a Reuters photographer.

Two days later they were restored, although Damac declined to comment on the brief removal.

However, the Trump Organization later issued the following statement to Associated Press: "The exterior signage at Trump International Golf Club, Dubai was temporarily removed on Tuesday for a short period of time, however... the signage is back up and fully intact."

Trump's comments provoked a backlash in the Gulf, where he has said he would like to expand business, and one of the region's biggest retail groups, Landmark, said it was pulling Trump merchandise off its shelves.

Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, who bought an 85-metre luxury yacht from Trump in 1991, called him a disgrace to all America and asked him to withdraw from the presidential race.

Trump retorted that the prince, who built up a fortune of $32 billion and announced in July that he would gradually give it all to charity, "wants to control our U.S. politicians with daddy's money. Can't do it when I get elected."
