Donald Trump 'to visit Scotland and his three golf courses in the next month'
@Source: dailyrecord.co.uk
Donald Trump reportedly plans to visit Scotland next month for the first time since becoming the 47th US President. The American president is planning to visit his three Scottish golf courses before the end of July, reports the MailOnline. This comes after it was revealed that Trump hoped to meet with the King this summer at one of his Scottish residences, Balmoral or Dumfries House. However, it is understood their diaries clash Trump was invited for an unprecedented second State Visit likely to take place in September. MailOnline reported that in the final two weeks of July, security services are preparing for Air Force One to fly into Prestwick Airport with Trump having a ring of steel thrown around him amid anticipated protests. During his first stint in office, thousands of Scots took to the streets in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen to oppose the former Apprentice TV star’s visit. The US president will likely visit Turnberry , which was vandalised by pro-Palestine protesters in March, and his Trump International controversial course in Aberdeen, which has had claims lodged against it that it destroyed one of the world’s rarest sand dune systems. It's also thought that Trump may visit his new Aberdeenshire course, the MacLeod Trump International Golf Links course - named in honour of his Lewis-born mother, Mary Anne MacLeod - which is set to open before mid-August. Trump has repeatedly asked Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer about hosting The Open at Turnberry , which he bought in 2014 for £46 million, but the organisers have yet to concede to his demands. His son, Eric Trump , said recently: "Turnberry is considered to be the best golf course in the world by the players, the writers, the spectators and the entire golfing community. "If we get the call, and I sincerely hope we do, I promise the Royal and Ancient that we will be the best hosts The Open Championship has ever seen." After Trump was invited for second State Visit, the Scottish Greens launched a ‘Dump Trump’ petition, claiming the president was not welcome in Scotland as he presents "a clear and present danger to our climate, peace and human rights around the world". It was signed by over 6000 people. First Minister John Swinney condemned the president following his heated exchange with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office earlier this year.
