00:00Imagine losing your family farm and being told it's worth the price of a cheap lunch.
00:05In Vietnam's Hong Yan province, thousands of farmers are being told their land will be bulldozed to make way for a $1.5 billion Trump-backed golf resort.
00:15The compensation? As little as $12 per square meter, plus a few months of rice.
00:21The project promises a 54-hole golf course, luxury resorts, and villas.
00:26Officials say it will create jobs and strengthen ties with the U.S., but many farmers fear they'll lose their only livelihood.
00:33Reports say the development was approved unusually fast, skipping key environmental steps.
00:39The White House denies any conflict of interest, insisting the Trump Organization's business is separate from trade talks.
00:45Still, for those watching their rice paddies vanish, the question remains, can a bag of rice replace a lifetime of farming?
