Politics‘Trash Island’ or DC landmark? Trump’s golf course plan sparks legal fight

Donald Trump plans to close Washington DC’s 106-year-old East Potomac Golf Links for 15 months from November to renovate it into a course capable of hosting professional tournaments. Local golfers fear the changes could erode its public character and community culture. A preservation group and two golfers have sued, and a federal judge ordered the administration to halt redevelopment plans until at least 26 October.
