The Hill: The Coast Guard plans to close off 2 miles of the Potomac River where it shares a border with President Trump’s National Golf Club in Sterling, Va., due to safety concerns, The Washington Post reported Monday.
The newspaper reports that many types of waterway vehicles would be restricted from entering the area if Trump or top White House officials are playing on the golf course, including kayaks, canoes, stand-up paddle boards, sailboats, jet-skis, motorboats and more.
Regular recreational river users, including injured veterans and Olympic athletes, are intensely against the new banned zone.
