Trump in talks to bring Miss Universe beauty pageant to Dubai

“I think it would be a great success,” the US businessman said of the possibility of staging the competition in the emirate

Billionaire Donald Trump has revealed he has discussed bringing his Miss Universe competition to Dubai, where he says it would be a “great success”.

“It’s something we could always discuss; we’ve discussed it briefly,” he said during a visit to Dubai this month to launch his new golf course.

The annual competition judges the female contestants on their beauty, with a swimwear and evening gown rounds. They are also interviewed on stage.

Trump bought the show – which is one of the most expensive beauty pageants in the world – in 1996.

He said 18 countries were presently bidding to be involved in the competition, which started in California in 1952.

The UAE was not one of those countries but he believed it could be in the future.

“I would say it absolutely could come here sometime in the future. I think it would be a great success for Dubai,” Trump said.
