What happened

The course is managed by Trump Golf on behalf of Hary Tanoesoedibjo's MNC Land. Indonesian regulators had separately paused the wider Lido City development weeks earlier over environmental permitting issues.

Why it matters

The Trump brand keeps collecting licensing fees from a politically connected Indonesian tycoon's project even as Indonesian regulators, dealing with the administration on tariffs, flagged the same development for environmental violations.
