No worries and thank you! I’d rather get accurate info even if it takes time, thanks for the link they do give a good rundown on how the article is incredibly misleading.

Summarizing below for others but also including an Xcancel link to the entire thread.

• Trump is not going to own the land or the company. They’re paying him $5M in franchise fees for the brand right basically which is pretty small amount given they were able to get their tariff lowered from I believe 47% to 20%.
• Vietnamese company Kinh Bac will own and manage it.
• The farmers didn’t own the land so it’s not like it’s being taken from them. All land in Vietnam is owned by the public and rights to use the land are given so they basically got free us of it.
• Foreigners can’t even be given rights to use land.
• Immediately after the investment policy was approved, the local government organized conferences to collect community opinions to win their agreement and high consensus on the project.
• A 2019 law outlining settlements for when land use rights are transferred like in this case so are known publicly.
• This part is just speculation on my part but I would assume they can just submit another land use request for different farmland and be given that.

That account seems to be a pretty good source for Vietnam news and debunking western propaganda related to it.
