WASHINGTON, United States: President Donald Trump on Sunday unveiled his plans for overhauling a beloved municipal golf course in the US capital, a project already mired in a contentious legal fight.
On Truth Social, Trump posted a mockup of an 18-hole course which would dramatically change the historic East Potomac Golf Links, saying construction is set to start in November.
"When completed, it will be open to the Public while, at the same time, designed to the Highest Level of Golf and able to hold World Class Tournaments such as the US Open, the PGA Championship, the Ryder Cup, and the Presidents Cup," Trump said.
A federal judge last week excoriated the Trump administration for cutting down hundreds of trees at the golf course with less than a day's notice, in an apparent circumvention of her previous order requiring prior notification of such work.
