US judge halts tree-cutting at Trump's DC golf course project
WASHINGTON: A federal judge on Monday halted further tree-cutting at a public golf course in Washington after hundreds of trees were felled for President Donald Trump’s pet project in the heart of the US capital.
A federal judge in Washington has temporarily stopped further tree-cutting at a public golf course that President Donald Trump plans to renovate for major championship events. The court ordered the government to provide ten business days' written notice before making any irreversible changes to the course. District Judge Ana Reyes emphasized that while she does not advocate for the preservation of trees, she is upholding the rule of law.
The East Potomac Golf Course, a public facility with affordable rates, has seen over 500 trees cut down for the renovation. Local golfers have voiced concerns about the remodelling of the 1920 course, which has been open to the public with affordable rates.
