Vietnam farmers protest low pay for land in Trump golf project

HUNG YEN, Vietnam: In Hung Yen province near Hanoi, farmers say they are being offered meager compensation, sometimes just a few thousand dollars and bags of rice, to vacate land earmarked for a US$1.5 billion Trump-branded golf resort.

The 990-hectare project, set to begin construction next month, will displace thousands and transform fruit farms into a luxury development.
