华盛顿,2月13日(路透社) – 一份法庭文件显示,一个非营利组织和两名华盛顿居民周五起诉唐纳德·特朗普总统的政府,试图阻止其对一座有一个多世纪历史的公共高尔夫球场进行改造的计划。
自2025年1月上任以来,特朗普将矛头对准了美国的文化和历史机构——从博物馆、纪念碑到国家公园和艺术中心——试图重塑它们。

去年年底,特朗普政府取消了国家高尔夫俱乐部信托(National Links Trust)管理华盛顿特区三个公共高尔夫球场的租约,这为特朗普进一步将自己的印记强加于城市生活的一部分提供了新机会。
特朗普政府的内政部表示,正在终止该组织2020年获得的经营高尔夫球场的50年租约。该机构指控国家高尔夫俱乐部信托未能对这些物业进行必要投资并支付租金。
国家高尔夫俱乐部信托否认了违约或未支付规定费用的指控,称内政部对该问题提供的信息很少。

周五在美国哥伦比亚特区联邦地区法院提起的诉讼称,特朗普政府对东波托马克公园(包括东波托马克高尔夫球场)的改造违反了1897年的一项国会法案,该法案规定该公园”应永远作为供民众休闲娱乐的公园持有和使用”。
当地媒体援引美国内政部的话说,该部门不对正在进行的诉讼置评,但补充称将”确保这些球场安全、美观、开放、价格合理、令人愉悦且便于访问,供前往华盛顿的民众使用”。
内政部及其下属的国家公园管理局被列为诉讼中的被告。原告包括非营利组织华盛顿特区保护联盟(DC Preservation League)以及华盛顿居民戴夫·罗伯茨(Dave Roberts)和亚历克斯·迪克森(Alex Dickson)。
诉讼指控特朗普政府的行动违反了环境法,并将污染一座被列入《国家历史名胜名录》的公园。

WASHINGTON, Feb 13 (Reuters) – A non-profit organization and two residents in Washington sued President Donald Trump’s administration on Friday seeking to stop its attempted overhaul of a more than a century-old public golf course, a court filing, opens new tab showed.
Since taking office in January 2025, Trump has targeted U.S. cultural and historical institutions – from museums and monuments to national parks and arts centers – in an attempt to reshape them.

Late last year, the Trump administration canceled a lease held by the National Links Trust to oversee three public golf courses in Washington D.C., giving a fresh opportunity for Trump to put his stamp on a part of city life.
Trump’s Interior Department said it was terminating the 50-year-lease the group received in 2020 to run the golf courses. The agency accused NLT of failing to make required investments in the properties and to pay rent.
NLT disputed the allegations that it defaulted on its lease or had not paid what was required. It said the Interior Department provided little information about the issue.

The lawsuit filed on Friday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia said the Trump administration’s reconstruction of East Potomac Park that includes the East Potomac Golf Course violated a congressional act from 1897 which said it should be “forever held and used as a park for the recreation and pleasure of the people.”
The U.S. Interior Department was quoted by local media as saying it does not comment on pending litigation but added it would “ensure these courses are safe, beautiful, open, affordable, enjoyable and accessible for people visiting” Washington.
The Interior Department and the National Park Service, which is a part of the department, were named as defendants in the lawsuit. The plaintiffs included non-profit group DC Preservation League and Washington residents Dave Roberts and Alex Dickson.
The lawsuit alleged the Trump administration’s actions violated environmental laws and would pollute a park on the National Register of Historic Places.
