特朗普总统周二发布了一组照片,显示工作人员正在东波托马克公园砍伐树木,并侮辱这个他计划从下个月开始重新开发的半岛。
President Trump on Tuesday posted a series of photos showing crews removing trees from East Potomac Park, insulting the peninsula that he is seeking to redevelop starting next month.
“这是给法官研究的‘垃圾岛’照片,”特朗普在其 Truth Social 帖子中写道。“这只是一小块区域,而且比有些地方还好!”总统指的是美国联邦地区法官安娜·雷耶斯,她在今年秋天早些时候裁决叫停了国家公园管理局正在进行的工作,当时一个文物保护团体和当地华盛顿特区高尔夫球手正起诉以阻止特朗普的计划。
“Here are pictures of Trash Island for the Judge to study,” Trump wrote in his Truth Social post. “This is just a small area, and better than some!”The president was making reference to U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes, who earlier this fall ruled to halt work that was being carried out by the National Park Service while a preservationist group and local D.C. golfers sue to stop Trump’s plans.
据政府官员称,国家公园管理局今年早些时候在该地产砍伐了数百棵树,旨在将球场恢复至其原始的林克斯风格设计。
The NPS cut down hundreds of trees at the property earlier this year in what administration officials have said was an effort to restore the course to its original links style design.
总统正寻求关闭东波托马克高尔夫球场——华盛顿特区使用最广泛的公共高尔夫设施——并将其改建为一座由著名高尔夫球场设计师汤姆·法齐奥设计的18洞锦标赛级球场。
The president is seeking to close East Potomac Golf Links, D.C.’s most widely used public golf facility, and revamp it into an 18-hole championship-length facility designed by renowned golf architect Tom Fazio.
在国家林克斯信托基金会(该基金会直到今年一直运营这些球场)的管理下,东波托马克因其亲民价格而闻名,而该地区拥有全美一些最昂贵、最排外的私人俱乐部。
Under the National Links Trust, which operated the courses until this year, East Potomac became known for its affordability in an area that is home to some of the country’s priciest and most exclusive private clubs.
除了拥有三座高尔夫球场外,东波托马克公园每天还被数千名骑行者、步行者和慢跑者使用,根据特朗普的计划,他们将失去进入该地产的权限。
East Potomac Park, in addition to being home to three golf courses, is used daily by thousands of bikers, walkers and joggers who would lose access to the property as part of Trump’s plans.
特朗普多次声称东波托马克地产“危险”,不应继续在那里比赛,周末在 Truth Social 上发布了新球场的设计图,并称将于11月15日开工。
Trump has repeatedly said the East Potomac property is “dangerous,” and play should not continue there, posting a design for a new course on Truth Social over the weekend and saying work would begin on Nov. 15.
总统周二发布的照片具体拍摄时间不详,但雷耶斯近期发布的一项命令禁止在诉讼期间进行任何未来的砍伐树木。
It is unclear when the photos the president posted on Tuesday were taken, but a recent order issued by Reyes forbids any future tree cutting while the case is being litigated.
特朗普周一抨击这位法官“疯了”,而他的盟友则试图为在那里进行的工作辩护。
Trump attacked the judge on Monday, calling her “insane,” while his allies have sought to justify the work being done there.
在最近接受福克斯新闻采访时,内政部长道格·伯格姆表示,在特朗普领导下,东波托马克“可能成为美国最好的球场,且价格最低。这是国家公园管理局的意图。”
During a recent interview on Fox News, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said under Trump East Potomac “could be the best course in America with the lowest prices. That’s the intention of the National Park Service.”
