Trump Organization ordered to pay $290,000 after losing battle against Scottish wind farm

[Gunnar Larson]

The Trump Organization has agreed to pay $290,000 to the Scottish
government, ending a multiyear legal battle in which Donald Trump tried and
failed to block an offshore wind farm from being built in view of one of
his Scottish golf courses.

The agreement to pay the government’s legal fees ends the company’s bitter
public dispute with the Scottish government. Over the years, Trump
repeatedly criticized former Scottish first minister Alex Salmond about the
wind farm and warned that it would cause “almost total destruction” of the
country’s tourism industry.

A Scottish government spokesman said that the settlement — first reported
by the Scotsman newspaper — removed the need for an independent auditor to
determine expenses to be paid by the Trump Organization.

“Expenses amounting to [$290,000] will now be paid to Scottish Ministers by
the Petitioners,” the spokesman said in a statement.
