Trump Opens New Golf Course, Meets with Scottish First Minister

  • On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump teed off at his Aberdeenshire golf course as around a hundred protesters gathered in Balmedie to oppose his visit.
  • Nicola Seal, a former ecologist, organised the protest over dune vulnerability after the Scottish Government permitted a golf course on fragile dunes at Menie Estate in 2012.
  • Around 4.45 pm, perhaps a dozen protestors scaled dunes to unfurl a Palestinian flag, while others marched to Balmedie Country Park in view of uniformed police.
  • While some protestors left early, others sat down to eat packed dinners as uniformed police blocked roads and diverted traffic.
  • First Minister of Scotland John Swinney plans to raise the 10% whisky levy with Trump, as the tariff is believed to cost the sector 4 million weekly during US-UK trade negotiations.
