Former President Donald Trump's Scottish golf resorts claimed more than $4 million in UK emergency money as the struggling businesses furloughed hundreds of staff members amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Newly-published company accounts for the two international resorts revealed the Trump Turnberry in Ayrshire and Trump International Scotland near Aberdeenshire cut 273 jobs in 2020, while also claiming $3.7 million in furlough support.

Trump relinquished control of both resorts to his sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, shortly before he was inaugurated as president in 2017 but kept financial interest in the businesses, both of which are owned by holding company Golf Recreation Scotland, Ltd.

Additional government data reviewed by The Guardian shows both resorts made further financial claims this year as the UK government's emergency job retention scheme persisted.
