Scotland's welcome for Trump to feature golf resorts, trade talks and protests

Amid a heightened security operation, Trump set off for Scotland on Friday, triggering a large UK security operation as he embarked on a mix of business, diplomacy and leisure.
Opponents are organizing demonstrations in Aberdeen and Edinburgh on Saturday, July 26, with rallies at noon and 2 p.m., as protests are expected during Trump’s visit.
Police Scotland warned of a 'significant operation across the country over many days,' and Assistant Chief Constable Emma Bond said `A policing plan will be in place to maintain public safety, balance rights to peaceful protest and minimise disruption`.
Calling the trip a 'working visit,' the White House said, the journey exemplifies how Trump is using official duties to promote and enrich his businesses.
Later this week, John Swinney and Trump are expected to hold one-to-one talks on whisky tariffs, Gaza and Ukraine before Trump returns for a state visit in September.
