Trump: Amazon's dropped deal 'a big loss' for hometown NYC

2019-02-23 05:33 Last Updated At:05:40

President Donald Trump is calling Amazon's decision to drop its plans for new headquarters in New York "a big loss" for the city.

Trump tells reporters the city could have hashed out "a much better deal," but is still bemoaning the decision.

He's also blaming what he's calling "radical left" thinking, which he says isn't good for jobs or the economy.

Amazon abruptly dropped plans last week to build one of its new headquarters in Long Island City, Queens, which could have delivered 25,000 jobs.

Some politicians and activists had objected to the nearly $3 billion in incentives promised to one of the world's richest, most powerful companies.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Friday called the reversal the "greatest tragedy" he's seen since he's been in government.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — Charlie Woods failed to advance in a U.S. Open local qualifying event Thursday, shooting a 9-over 81 at Legacy Golf & Tennis Club.

The 15-year-old son of Tiger Woods tied for 61st among the 74 players who finished. The top five advanced to regional qualifying.

Woods shot 40 on the front nine, opening bogey-double bogey. He followed a birdie on the par-3 fifth with another double bogey. He shot 41 on the back with three bogeys and a double bogey.

The U.S. Open will be played June 13-16 at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina.

Woods also struggled in February in a pre-qualifier for the PGA Tour's Cognizant Classic, taking a 12 on a hole and shooting a 16-over 86 at Lost Lake Golf Club in Hobe Sound.

Woods has played the 36-hole PNC Championship with his father the last four years in a scramble format.
