Trump Sons Launch $300M SPAC to Boost US Manufacturing and Critical Supply Chains.

Donald Trump's sons, Eric and Donald Jr., are launching a $300 million SPAC to revitalize US manufacturing and strengthen supply chains. The SPAC, New America Acquisition I Corp., aims to acquire a private company with a total enterprise value of at least $700 million. The Trump brothers will serve as advisors and receive founder shares that can be converted into common stock upon completion of the merger. The move echoes President Trump's efforts to boost American industry and create jobs. The Trump family has faced scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest, but Eric Trump has defended the family's business practices, stating they never profited from the presidency and have focused on cryptocurrency as a "perfect hedge" for their real estate portfolio.

Donald Trump's sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr., have launched a $300 million Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) named New America Acquisition I Corp. to revitalize the U.S. manufacturing sector and strengthen domestic supply chains. The SPAC, which filed for an initial public offering (IPO) on Monday, aims to acquire a private company with an enterprise value of at least $700 million. The Trump brothers will serve as advisors and will receive founder shares that can be converted into common stock upon the completion of the merger [1].

The SPAC, which will be led by Kevin McGurn, a media and tech executive, and Kyle Wool, president of Dominari Securities, is seeking to merge with U.S.-based industrial and technology firms that play a meaningful role in domestic manufacturing. The move aligns with President Trump's economic agenda, which emphasizes the importance of domestic manufacturing and supply chain resilience [2].

Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. were granted three million and two million founder shares, respectively, in New America. These shares can potentially be worth millions of dollars if the SPAC successfully completes a merger with a suitable acquisition target [1]. The Trump brothers have a history of leveraging SPACs to expand their business interests, with previous ventures including Trump Media & Technology Group and GrabAGun, an online gun dealer [2].

The Trump family's business interests span various sectors, including real estate, telecom, cryptocurrency, and defense tech. While their ventures have drawn scrutiny for potential conflicts of interest, Eric Trump has defended the family's business practices, stating that they never profited from the presidency and have focused on cryptocurrency as a hedge for their real estate portfolio [3].

The success of New America Acquisition I Corp. will depend on its ability to secure a compelling acquisition target and maintain investor interest in a market that has become more cautious about speculative growth. As the 2026 midterms approach and President Trump continues his campaign, the visibility and scrutiny of these ventures are likely to increase [2].
