WASHINGTON (TNND) — President Donald Trump accused Maryland Gov. Wes Moore of delaying a planned renovation of "dilapidated" golf courses at Joint Base Andrews, arguing the project would benefit military personnel and wounded veterans.
But a spokesperson for Moore said Trump's claims are false.
In a Truth Social post, Trump said Moore halted work on a proposal to transform two existing golf courses at the Maryland military installation into championship-caliber facilities designed by golf legend Jack Nicklaus.

Trump said the project would include the renovation of two existing courses, as well as the construction of an additional nine-hole course tailored for wounded service members and veterans.

Trump described the existing golf courses as outdated and in poor condition and said the planned renovations would create world-class facilities for active-duty service members, veterans and their families.
In a statement to the National News Desk, Moore's spokesman said "we have no idea what Donald Trump is talking about."
Joint Base Andrews, located just outside Washington, serves as a major military installation and is best known as the home of Air Force One.
