Nur für's Protokoll - so wie es aussieht, hat Trump seinen Botschafter drauf angesetzt, die British Open für seinen dicke in den Miesen stehenden Golfplatz (2016: 23 Mio Verlust, insgesamt 300 Millionen in der Kreide) an Land zu ziehen.

"LONDON — The American ambassador to Britain, Robert Wood Johnson IV, told multiple colleagues in February 2018 that President Trump had asked him to see if the British government could help steer the world-famous and lucrative British Open golf tournament to the Trump Turnberry resort in Scotland, according to three people with knowledge of the episode.
The ambassador’s deputy, Lewis A. Lukens, advised him not to do it, warning that it would be an unethical use of the presidency for private gain, these people said. But Mr. Johnson apparently felt pressured to try. A few weeks later, he raised the idea of Turnberry playing host to the Open with the secretary of state for Scotland, David Mundell."
