这张带有金色调的图片描绘了某种企业版的天堂景象：一对夫妇在躺椅上闲聊，另一对夫妇在篝火旁欢笑，还有更多人坐在遮阳篷下。
在他们身后，距离海浪拍打的海岸线不远的地方，矗立着一座庞大复杂的玻璃建筑的基座，建筑外墙上印有醒目的“特朗普”字样，在AI生成的夕阳下闪闪发光。
“全球特朗普资产组合的新篇章，”该网站的标题写道，“下一个超豪华地标即将落户澳大利亚标志性的黄金海岸。”
这是一张来自“trumpgoldcoast.com”网站的存档图片，该网站现已无法访问，图片展示了此前规划的澳大利亚黄金海岸特朗普塔的AI效果图。
但这张图片以及发布该图片的网站都已被删除。这个位于澳大利亚的特朗普国际酒店及塔楼项目，如今已不复存在。
该项目估值11亿美元，开发商是澳大利亚阿尔特斯地产集团（Altus Property Group）首席执行官大卫·杨。他表示，伊朗战争让特朗普品牌在澳大利亚变得“过于失势”，项目无法继续推进。
特朗普集团则指责大卫·杨的公司“无法履行最基本的财务义务”，并嘲讽其将“全球事件”作为“转移自身违约和失败注意力的借口”。
“特朗普品牌及其代表的意义”
今年2月，特朗普总统的儿子埃里克·特朗普发布了一张AI生成的效果图，展示了位于黄金海岸冲浪者天堂海滨度假区的新特朗普塔，并宣称该建筑将很快成为“澳大利亚最高楼宇”。

几乎与此同时，大卫·杨发布了一张自己与埃里克握手的照片，这位开发商称这座91层的建筑造价约11亿美元，是一项筹备了19年的工程。
短短不到三个月后，双方就陷入了互相指责。
周二，大卫·杨在发给CBS新闻的合作机构BBC的声明中写道：“不妨这么说，受伊朗战争以及其他一系列事件影响，特朗普品牌在澳大利亚的声誉越来越差。”
大卫·杨否认了阿尔特斯集团未履行财务义务的说法，并在领英（LinkedIn）上写道，该公司计划继续推进该项目，但不再使用特朗普的品牌或与其产生关联。
特朗普集团的一位发言人告诉CBS新闻，该集团曾对这个项目“充满期待”，但在数月的谈判和一次次空泛的承诺后，项目最终流产。
“杨先生试图将协议终止归咎于某些全球事件，这不过是为了转移人们对他自身违约和失败的注意力，”这位发言人说道。
周二，大卫·杨在领英上发布了一篇篇幅较长、语气较为缓和的帖子，称特朗普品牌的声誉因“近期事件”受损是“极不公平的”，因为该品牌“与特朗普总统毫无关系”。
他补充道，“特朗普家族和我本人之间没有任何不和”，并称这一决定“纯粹是商业考量”。
黄金海岸市长汤姆·塔特曾在协议宣布前与特朗普总统和埃里克·特朗普在海湖庄园会面，他告诉澳大利亚广播公司（ABC），该项目从未提交过开发申请。
当被问及协议为何破裂时，他表示双方都对利润率不满意，“一切都是为了钱”。
澳大利亚ABC新闻网此前报道称，大卫·杨曾两次宣布破产。阿尔特斯地产集团未立即回应对CBS新闻置评请求的采访。
由黄金海岸居民发起的反对该开发项目的请愿书，以他们对“特朗普品牌及其代表的意义”感到不适为由，截至周三已收集到至少14万个签名。
周一，埃里克·特朗普发布了另一张特朗普塔的AI效果图，这次是在格鲁吉亚首都第比利斯。
他写道，这座建筑将成为“格鲁吉亚最高楼宇”，“我们非常期待将它变为现实！”
Trump Tower Australia plans scrapped as developer blames Iran war for making Trump brand “toxic”
May 13, 2026 / 10:31 AM EDT / CBS News

Frank Andrews is a CBS News journalist based in London.
The gold-tinted image depicts a certain type of corporate paradise. A couple chats on a lounge chair, another pair laughs by a fire pit. More sit under awnings.
Behind them, yards from waves lapping at a shoreline, stands the base of a vast and complicated glass structure emblazoned with the word “Trump,” glinting in the AI-generated setting sunlight.
“The next chapter in the global Trump portfolio,” declares the headline on the website. “The next ultra-luxury address is coming soon to Australia’s iconic Gold Coast.”
An archived image from the “trumpgoldcoast.com” website, which is no longer online, shows an AI-generated depiction of a previously-planned Trump Tower in Gold Coast, Australia.
But the image, and the website where it was found, have been deleted. The project, a Trump International Hotel and Tower in the land down under, is no more.
David Young, CEO of Australia’s Altus Property Group, the developer behind the $1.1 billion tower plan, says the war in Iran has made the Trump brand too “toxic to Australians” for the project to continue.
The Trump Organization has blamed Young’s company, accusing it of being “unable to meet the most basic financial obligation” and deriding the use of “world events” as “a ploy to distract from his own defaults and failures.”
“The Trump brand and what it represents”
In February, the president’s son Eric Trump posted an AI-generated image of a new Trump Tower in the seaside resort of Surfer’s Paradise, in Gold Coast, heralding what he said would “soon be the tallest building” in Australia.

Young, at the same time, posted a photo of himself shaking hands with Eric, and the developer said the 91-story building would cost about $1.1 billion and that it was a project 19 years in the making.
Less than three months later, it ended with finger pointing.
In a statement sent to CBS News’ partner network the BBC on Tuesday, Young wrote: “Let’s just say that with the Iran war and everything else, the Trump brand was increasingly toxic in Australia.”
Young rejected the claim that Altus group hadn’t met financial obligations, and wrote on LinkedIn that the company plans to carry on with the project without the Trump name or affiliation.
A spokesperson for the Trump organization told CBS News it had been “very excited” about the project but that it had fallen through “after months of negotiations and empty promise, after empty promise.”
“Mr Young’s attempt to blame certain world events for our termination of the agreement is merely a ploy to distract from his own defaults and failures,” the spokesperson said.
In a lengthy, and more conciliatory LinkedIn post on Tuesday, Young said it was “grossly unfair” that the Trump brand’s reputation had been tarnished by “recent events,” as the brand “has nothing to do with the President.”
He added that there was “no acrimony between the Trump family and myself,” and said the decision was “pure business.”
Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate, who met with the president and Eric Trump at Mar-a-Lago before the deal was announced, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that no development application was filed for the project.
When asked why the deal had fallen through, he said neither side was happy with their profit margins, and “it’s all about the money.”
Australia’s ABC network recently reported that Young had twice declared bankruptcy. The Altus Property Group did not immediately respond to a CBS News request for comment.
A petition against the development started by Gold Coast residents — who cited their discomfort with “the Trump brand and what it represents,” had garnered at least 140,000 signatures by Wednesday.
On Monday, Eric Trump posted another AI-generated image of a Trump Tower, this time in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia.
The building is set to become “the tallest building in Georgia,” he wrote. “We are so excited to bring it to life!”
