Because of a Golf Course .. American Judge Stands in Trump’s Way

Al-Taj News – An American judge ordered a park located in the center of the capital, Washington, to be kept open to the public, after the administration of President Donald Trump attempted to close it in preparation for rehabilitation works on a golf course at the site.

Trump, who is passionate about this sport and owns golf courses around the world, wishes to rehabilitate the “East Potomac Golf Links” course in Washington so that it becomes capable of hosting top-level tournaments.

In this context, the Trump administration requested the closure of “East Potomac” Park, which extends over an area of 160 hectares and includes a golf course, in preparation for starting the rehabilitation works.

However, a complaint filed by an environmental coalition objecting to the project prevented the closure of the park. Judge Ana Reyes issued a temporary judicial order to keep the park open for the time being, until the courts rule on the submitted appeal.
