Trump said Moore was \u201cattacking\u201d the Air Force and U.S. military.<\/p>\n<p>Moore\u2019s office disputed this, saying the Air Force has not requested construction permits from Maryland\u2019s Department of the environment, and that the state has not ordered Joint Base Andrews to halt work. the governor\u2019s press secretary said discussions with the Air Force left open questions about weather the project qualifies for stormwater-management exemptions. She also noted the Air Force planned to begin construction June 15, 2026, leaving little time to resolve potential permitting issues before breaking ground.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a> accused Maryland Gov. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/wes-moore\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"3000\">Wes Moore<\/a> (D) on Saturday of stopping construction at Joint Base Andrews\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/golf\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"561\">golf<\/a> courses, which mainly <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >serve military service members<\/a>, civilian contractors, and their families.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump said the halted work included the renovation of the two existing golf courses and the construction of an additional nine holes specially built for wounded soldiers.
