Trump administration reaches deal with non-profit over DC golf courses

President ​Donald Trump's administration and ​a non-profit group that ‌runs ​Washington, D.C.'s public golf courses reached a deal on Friday under which the ‌organization will have a new long-term lease of two courses while federal officials will overhaul a third one.

The two sides ‌released a joint statement on Friday. Here are some ‌details: * The National Links Trust non-profit will have a new long-term lease to operate and redevelop Langston Golf Course and Rock Creek ⁠Park ​Golf, the statement ⁠said.

* The statement added that the non-profit will continue to operate ⁠East Potomac Golf Links on an interim basis until the Interior ​Department's National Park Service starts what it calls a "historic ⁠restoration" of the waterfront course. * All three public golf courses in ⁠the ​U.S. capital will remain open, the statement added.

* In December, the Trump administration ended National Links' previous deal ⁠to oversee D.C.'s public golf courses. * Critics saw the cancellation ⁠as another ⁠step in Trump's push to remake the look of the nation's capital.
