Trump's contentious plans for two championship golf courses, 950 holiday homes and 500 houses were the subject of a public local inquiry by the Scottish Government after they were rejected by an Aberdeenshire Council committee.
The plans were then backed by Finance Secretary John Swinney under a number of conditions including the protection of sand dunes and wildlife on the estate.
A Trump Organisation spokesman said the door was open for negotiation.
Aberdeenshire Council said compulsory purchase would only be used as a last resort.
