WASHINGTON — The Trump Organization is suing New York City over its decision earlier this year to cancel the company's contract to operate an 18-hole golf course in the Bronx borough with views of the Manhattan skyline.
The lawsuit filed Monday with the New York State Supreme Court accuses the city, and specifically Mayor Bill de Blasio, of severing the contract for Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point because of political motivations and an “animosity against President Trump.†The suit said the Jan.
But the license to operate the golf course, which first opened in 2015, never required the Trump Organization to hold tournaments, saying only that the city expected the company to make the grounds a “first class, tournament quality daily fee golf course,†the lawsuit said
The lawsuit says the license agreement stated that if New York City terminated the contract, then the Parks and Recreation Department would have to pay the Trump Organization “a termination payment equal to the sum of, among other things, capital improvements costs and grow-in costs,†which the company estimated to be about $30 million
