I believe the answer is:

nirvana

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'is paradise' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'new romeo embraced by trump's' is the wordplay.
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'romeo' becomes 'r' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'embraced by' is an insertion indicator.
'trump' becomes 'Ivana' (Ivana Trump, Donald ex wife).
'r' inserted within 'ivana' is 'irvana'.
'n'+'irvana'='NIRVANA'

'ex' acts as a link.
This may not be right. It may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nirvana that I've seen before include "State of pure happiness" , "Buddhist state of perfect bliss" , "Iran van (anag) - blissful state!" , "Buddhist blessed extinction" , "Tranquillity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
