The Trump administration announced late Wednesday its decision to close East Potomac Golf Links. It plans to proceed with the president’s initiative to redevelop this historic municipal course. This news comes just nine days after Justice Department lawyers informed a federal judge that no closure plans were in place.
The administration stated that the golf links will close on November 15. The decision marks a significant change in direction, reflecting the administration’s commitment to implement its redevelopment plans. Julia Demaree Nikhinson/AP captured the evolving situation as noted in the announcement made at 11:50 p.m. EDT on October 28, 2026.
