A federal judge issued an order halting additional tree removal at East Potomac Park after the District of Columbia government rejected a request to accelerate the historic preservation review of a proposed redesign of a Trump‑linked golf course.
The ruling keeps the National Park Service’s required historic review in effect, as the district chose not to fast‑track the project.
East Potomac Park, a historic site in Washington, D.C., remains the focus of the proposed overhaul involving the golf course associated with former president Donald Trump.
