Trump Administration Ends Lease for DC Public Golf Courses
The Trump administration has terminated the lease agreement with the National Links Trust, a nonprofit operating three public golf courses in Washington, D.C. The Department of the Interior cited the nonprofit’s failure to meet lease terms and implement required capital improvements as the reason for the termination. While the administration’s future plans for the courses are unclear, this decision provides President Trump with the opportunity to potentially influence the courses, some of which are located on federal land. The National Links Trust has stated it is “devastated” by the decision.
