ERIC Trump attended a groundbreaking ceremony in Vietnam Wednesday for a $1.5-billion luxury resort and golf course due to be developed by his father US President Donald Trump’s real estate group.
The Trump Organization, which builds luxury developments around the world, has come under scrutiny, with critics accusing Trump of leveraging his political position for personal financial gain.
Eric Trump, an executive vice-president of The Trump Organization, and his wife Lara attended the event, as well as local partner the Kinhbac City Development Corporation (KBC).
Heavy security surrounded the event in Hung Yen province, 40 kilometres (25 miles) southeast of Hanoi, where the complex, reportedly featuring a 54-hole course and residential villas, will be built.
Hundreds of farmers watched the event from afar, mostly standing on a dyke overlooking the farms of oranges, pomelos, peach blossoms and kumquat trees that will be cleared for the luxury complex.
