Halts Scotland golf resort work over offshore wind farm dispute

Trump formally halted development on his "world's greatest golf course" near Aberdeen, Scotland, following through on threats to abandon the project if an offshore wind farm was approved nearby. He claimed the wind turbines would destroy the view and ruin his investment, escalating his feud with the Scottish government and environmental groups. The move demonstrated his willingness to hold local economies hostage to protect his personal aesthetic preferences.

“All further plans for future development, including the hotel, are now on hold until the Scottish government makes a decision on the application for the European offshore wind deployment centre submitted by Vattenfall and Areg” — Statement to press Quote verified against source
