Trump sons' hunting in focus as US lifts import ban on African elephant trophies

• Obama administration imposed ban because of conservation concerns
• Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump are enthusiastic big game hunters

The Trump administration's decision to loosen restrictions around the import of elephant trophies from Zimbabwe and Zambia has turned attention back to the president's family's own connection to the controversial sport.

Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump are prolific big-game hunters and during the 2016 campaign, images re-emerged of the pair on a 2011 hunting trip posing with animals they had killed on safari, including an elephant, a buffalo and a leopard.
