America's State Department paid £52,477 for Donald Trump's two-night stay at his Turnberry golf resort during the U.S. president's visit to the U.K. last week, the Scotsman reported Tuesday.

The money went toward hotel rooms for Trump and his staffers. The president was accompanied on the trip by his son Eric and several officials, including chief of staff John Kelly, Press Secretary Sarah Sanders and social media chief Dan Scavino. According to the Scottish paper, the U.S. president also played two rounds of golf at the resort during his stay.

Trump resigned from his directorship of SLC Turnberry — the company behind the hotel and golf course — after taking office, but its parent company, Golf Recreation Scotland, is still wholly owned by the president via the Donald J Trump Revocable Trust, the Scotsman reported. SLC Turnberry's directors include Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr.

Eric Trump defended the decision to stay at the resort, tweeting: "While not required, we have decided that for any United States Govt business, we charge our COST and do NOT profit from these stays. Much more would be spent if they stayed elsewhere."

During his first official visit to Britain as U.S. president last week, Trump warned in an interview that Theresa May’s new Brexit strategy will “kill” any future trade deal with the U.S., backed Boris Johnson for prime minister and accused London Mayor Sadiq Khan of being weak on terrorism. He then spent the weekend at Turnberry, before heading to Helsinki for a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
