Travel and Tourism

The cost of the housing and transportation bill for US President Donald Trump's visit to Britain from June 3 to 5 was fantastically high.

Trump, First Lady Melania, his four children and his large entourage made an official visit to Britain and Ireland and then arrived Thursday for France to attend the 75th anniversary of the landing in Normandy.

Newsweek magazine quoted records from Scotland's Scottsman website as saying that the official visit to Britain cost $ 3 million to $ 1 million.

The purchase and delivery orders, seen on the Scotsman website, showed how much the US taxpayer spends on this presidential tour.

The accompanying guests took some of London's most exclusive hotels for their stay during the three-day trip to Britain.

The website said how the US State Department signed contracts worth $ 1,223,230 for dignitaries in a hotel, as well as contracts for other accommodation in different hotels.

In addition, the cost of the Air Force One Airbus 747, which costs $ 142,380 an hour, makes the cost of a seven-and-a-half-hour flight from Washington to London about $ 1 million, according to the US site Quartz.

Visit Ireland

Meanwhile, Trump visited for one night Ireland, met the country's Prime Minister, Leo Faradkar, in Shannon.

The newspaper said the short period of residence will cost about 11.25 million dollars, which was not confirmed by other sources.

"The Biggest Cost"

In contrast, the British newspaper The Mirror reported that the British taxpayer will bear the greatest cost to visit Trump, where the United Kingdom has incurred about 50 million dollars due to security measures for the presidential visit.

Trump visited all four of his sons (Donald Jr., Eric, Ivanka and Tiffany), which greatly increased security costs.

"The bill also included the protection of the 1,000-person Trump limb, as well as guarding an estimated 250,000 protesters who took to the streets to protest the visit," the paper said.
