房地产大亨特朗普的诉讼人生

    苏格兰

    即便大到一个国家，也难免受到唐纳德•特朗普的诉讼威胁。2008年，特朗普得到苏格兰政府批准（尽管遭到当地抗议），在阿伯丁郡一块受到保护的沙丘地带建一座高尔夫球场。他声称，之所以投资10亿英镑，是因为苏格兰第一大臣杰克•麦康纳和埃里克斯•萨尔蒙德曾经承诺，将终止在他所投资地块沿海修建风力发电机的计划。

    但现在，关于离岸开发的话题被重新提起，让特朗普很是恼火——他威胁要起诉苏格兰，同时停止了与高尔夫球场相邻的一家酒店的施工工作（预定7月份开业），直到苏格兰政府做出有关风力发电机的最终决定为止。

    Scotland

    Even countries aren't immune to the threats of Donald Trump. In 2008, Trump was given permission by the Scottish government (despite local protest) to build a golf course on protected dune land in Aberdeenshire. He says that his £1 billion investment was contingent on promises from Scottish first ministers Jack McConnell and Alex Salmond that plans to build a string of wind turbines off the coast of his land would not go forward.

    Now that talk of the offshore development has begun again, Trump is angry -- he's threatened to sue Scotland and has stalled the building of a hotel adjoining his golf course (set to open in July) until the government reaches a decision on the turbines.
