Indonesian authorities have ordered the halt of development of a tourism project affiliated with US President Donald Trump over water management and environmental issues, officials said.

The 3,000-hectare (11.6-square-mile) project is the brainchild of Mr Trump’s Indonesian business partner, billionaire and politician Hary Tanoesoedibjo, who attended Mr Trump’s inauguration in Washington last month.
