Trump calls for inquiry into Salmond

RELATIONS between Donald Trump and Alex Salmond have worsened further after the US tycoon called for an inquiry into his behaviour over the proposed off-shore wind farm overlooking his golf course.

The billionaire demanded to know what pressure the First Minister exerted to get several organisations to withdraw their objections to the 11-turbine European Offshore Wind Development Centre (EOWDC) off the Aberdeenshire coast.

It came after an approach from one of Mr Salmond's senior advisors was revealed over the Lockerbie release. Mr Trump was asked to back the Government's release of the man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing, Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi.
