Trump halts golf resort work for turbine decision

THE Scottish Government has been urged to "call Donald Trump's bluff" after the billionaire put work on his £750 million golf resort on hold until a decision is made on an offshore wind farm proposal near the site.

Mr Trump's development on the Menie estate in Aberdeenshire includes plans for two golf courses, a hotel, 950 holiday homes and 500 houses.

While the championship course is due to be opened in June, the entrepreneur has now said the remainder of the resort will not go ahead until the Scottish Government makes a decision on the nearby wind farm.
