Scotland's welcome for Trump to feature golf resorts, trade talks and protests
SCOTLAND, JUL 25 – Trump will open a new golf course named after his mother and discuss trade with UK leaders amid planned protests and heightened security, with 71% of Scots disapproving, experts say.
- President Donald Trump is set to begin a four-day trip to Scotland starting Friday, which will include visits to his golf resorts in Turnberry and Menie, along with meetings with UK political leaders.
- This visit follows a similar four-day trip in 2018 that required a major security operation and saw thousands protesting in Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Aberdeen.
- Authorities have imposed multiple road restrictions and no waiting zones around Prestwick Airport to maintain public safety and manage high visitor numbers during the visit.
- UK steel exports to the US are subject to a 25 percent tariff, which is lower than the 50 percent imposed on exports from other nations, and Downing Street is hopeful that Trump will follow through on a commitment from the White House to eliminate these tariffs entirely.
- Protests planned across Scotland oppose Trump's tariffs, energy policies, and climate stance while Scottish leaders emphasize engagement and the protection of local interests during the visit.
