“It was meant to provide historical information and context relevant to the conduct of U.S. diplomacy and was not intended to endorse or promote any private enterprise.”

A blog post about Trump’s luxury resort in Palm Beach, Fla., began gaining attention Monday, leading to its removal later that day.

The blog post detailed the history of Mar-a-Lago, noting that the founder willed the estate to the U.S. government in 1973.

But it did not specify that the federal government ultimately returned the resort to founder Marjorie Merriweather Post’s estate, nor that Trump purchased it in 1983.

The writeup was originally posted on ShareAmerica, described as State’s “platform for sharing compelling stories and images that spark discussion and debate.”

The official website of State’s embassy and consulates in the United Kingdom re-published the post April 5.

The State website involved removed it late Monday, following criticism over ethical concerns.

“The intention of the article was to inform the public about where the president has been hosting world leaders,” the webpage now reads. “We regret any misperception and have removed the post.”

Trump has repeatedly faced criticism for potential conflicts of interest between his administration and his business empire.

The president frequently stays at Mar-a-Lago, leading some to dub the resort the “winter White House.”
