A Trump-branded hotel and residences were part of the planned development in the Batam area, which has been heavily criticized for encroaching on forested land.

Indonesians have decided to cancel a major development that would include a property with Donald Trump's name on it because of environmental concerns.
In the popular Riau Islands, construction of the controversial resort is now forbidden after widespread protests against its impact on the environment. A Trump-branded hotel and residences were part of the planned development in the Batam area, which has been heavily criticized for encroaching on forested land.
Protesters say the project would have devastated the island's natural surroundings, such as mangrove forests and coral reefs, and had an impact on the local population. They also protested against President Joko Widodo, who they said supported Trump's project despite environmental concerns.
The government of Indonesia recently rejected the project after many people expressed opposition to it. The announcement came just a few days before President Trump was scheduled to visit the Southeast Asian nation in April for the first time since taking office.
