A federal judge extended an order blocking tree removal from a Washington, DC golf course President Donald Trump is seeking to renovate, while imposing new notice requirements on any other major changes the administration seeks to make on the golf course grounds.
The new 70-page opinion from US District Judge Ana Reyes cited Trump’s own statements about his plans for East Potomac Golf Course.
The judge said she was forced to act now in the long-simmering dispute – which came to a head in recent weeks because the administration cut down 400-plus trees on the grounds with little notice – “because the Government did what it assured all it would not do.”
The ruling is a major setback for Trump’s efforts to turn the beloved but modest public golf course into a championship level course. It also sets the stage for an appeals court battle in a case that had produced sharp confrontations between the administration and the judiciary.

一名联邦法官延长了一项命令，阻止从华盛顿特区的一处高尔夫球场移除树木。唐纳德·特朗普总统正寻求翻新该高尔夫球场。同时，法官还对特朗普政府寻求在该高尔夫球场进行的任何其他重大变更施加了新的通知要求。
美国地区法官安娜·雷耶斯在这份长达 70 页的新意见书中引用了特朗普本人关于其东波托马克高尔夫球场计划的声明。
法官表示，她被迫现在就这场由来已久的争端采取行动——这场争端在最近几周达到了高潮，因为政府在几乎没有通知的情况下砍伐了场地上的 400 多棵树——“因为政府做了它向所有人保证不会做的事情。”
这项裁决对特朗普将这座备受喜爱但规模不大的公共高尔夫球场改造成锦标赛级球场的努力来说是一次重大挫折。它也为这场曾引发政府与司法部门激烈对抗的案件的上诉大战埋下了伏笔。
事件仍在发展中。
