SCOTLAND: Trump Course Destroyed Protected Dunes

ABC News reports:

Documents show that U.S. President Donald Trump’s family business has “destroyed the vast majority” of an environmentally sensitive area of sand dunes near its golf course north of Aberdeen in Scotland. Scottish Natural Heritage, which is responsible for the management and monitoring of sites of special scientific interest, has found that construction of the golf course has “led to direct loss of” as much as 68 hectares (168 acres) of mobile sand dunes protected under Scottish law.

Trump had personally promised Scottish authorities that he would maintain the protected areas around the course.
