Threatens to abandon Scottish golf resort over wind farm

Donald Trump escalated his feud with the Scottish government, threatening to abandon his $1 billion golf resort project if plans for an offshore wind farm were not scrapped. He claimed the wind turbines would be 'disastrous' for Scotland's economy and tourism, despite having just cut the ribbon on the first phase of construction. This marked a continuation of his aggressive lobbying against renewable energy projects that he felt impacted his properties.
