トランプ米大統領が首都ワシントンの公営ゴルフ場で大規模改修を計画している。
【ワシントン時事】トランプ米大統領が大規模改修を計画する首都ワシントンの公営ゴルフ場で、多数の木が伐採されたことが物議を醸している。桜の木も含まれていたとみられるためで、日米友好の象徴となっている周辺の桜並木にまで影響が及びかねないと懸念が広がっている。
ワシントン・ポスト紙は、ここ数週間で150本の木が切られ、このうちコース内にあった桜1本も取り去ったと報じた。内務省は2日、時事通信の取材に対し、枯れかけた木などを除去する「通常の維持管理を行った」と説明。日本から贈られた桜が含まれるかどうかについては回答しなかった。
