Thousands of farmers in Vietnam’s Hung Yen province are being forced off their land to make way for a $1.5 billion Trump-backed golf resort. Many are reportedly being offered as little as $12 per square metre — plus a few months of rice. Officials promise jobs and economic growth. But villagers fear losing the only livelihood they’ve ever known. The project has raised eyebrows for its unusually fast approval and skipped environmental checks — while the White House denies any conflict of interest. Is this development a golden opportunity… or a raw deal for Vietnam’s farmers? WooGlobe Ref : WGA906716 For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com

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?
Vietnam Communist stole and confiscated hundreds of thousands acres of lands from thousands of their people and farmers then resale them to Chinese developers from China for profits
