(Reuters) - Hurricane Irma swept over U.S. President Donald Trump's 11-bedroom Caribbean mansion on Wednesday, the first of several luxury Trump properties threatened by the storm's path.

It was not immediately known whether Irma damaged Trump's beachfront Chateau des Palmiers, or Castle of the Palms, on St. Martin. The gated estate, for sale for $16.9 million, is owned through a trust and had been rented out, U.S. media has reported.
