Interior Department paves way for possible Trump DC golf course renovation

The Interior Department has terminated its lease with the nonprofit organization that ran Washington, D.C.‘s public golf courses, making way for President Donald Trump to possibly renovate the courses.

The National Links Trust, a nonprofit, signed a 50-year lease with the National Park Service to operate the district’s East Potomac, Langston, and Rock Creek golf courses in 2020. But the contracted relationship has been on the rocks in recent months, as disputes over the nonprofit organization’s lease obligations ultimately led to the Interior Department terminating the agreement.
