Trump: My Golf Resort Is Good For Diplomacy With UK

The Week reports:

President Trump started his Saturday on Twitter with an announcement that his golf course in Scotland is super nice and also totally great for America’s ties with the United Kingdom.

The immediate context of Trump’s tweet is his loss of a 2015 court battle with Scotland over plans for a new offshore wind farm. Trump unsuccessfully sought to block construction of the turbines, arguing they would spoil the view from his golf course.

On Thursday, a court ruled Trump’s company must pay for the Scottish government’s legal fees incurred in the suit, so yeah, the U.K. probably is pretty happy about the golf course right now.

Very proud of perhaps the greatest golf course anywhere in the world. Also, furthers U.K. relationship! https://t.co/3xTzzJH6Iq
