Alex Salmond brands Trump 'loser' after judges reject windfarm appeal

Trump hits back at ‘has-been’ former first minister after losing appeal against
planning permission for offshore turbines near Aberdeenshire golf course

Donald Trump, the leading Republican candidate for the US presidency, has been defeated in his campaign to prevent an offshore windfarm being built within sight of his golf course in Scotland.

In a unanimous decision, fives justices on the supreme court in London rejected his appeal against planning permission for the turbines that was granted by Scottish ministers.

Despite losing at every earlier stage in the Scottish courts, the billionaire property developer had funded a fresh challenge to prevent the windfarm being built within sight of his Menie golf resort in Aberdeenshire.

The former Scottish first minister, Alex Salmond, branded Trump “three times a loser” while the windfarm industry greeted the ruling as a boost for renewable energy.
