John Swinney has been urged to challenge President Trump on human rights when they meet within days. Amnesty International said the summit is a “major test" for the First Minister to prove his commitment to “global justice and equality”. Trump will arrive in Scotland on Friday as part of a five day visit which will include trips to his golf courses in Ayrshire and Aberdeenshire. He will also spend time with Prime Minister Keir Starmer and a meeting with Swinney has also been pencilled in. Swinney is now under pressure to raise concerns about the agenda pursued by Trump over the course of his two terms. The President has been accused of demonising migrants and rolling back on reproductive rights by nominating anti-abortion judges. In a letter to the First Minister , Amnesty wrote: “This meeting will be a major test of the Scottish Government’s commitment to global justice, one which [you must] meet with a resolve to defend universal human rights and to stand against the authoritarian practices of the Trump Administration.” “You have said in recent days that it is in Scotland’s interest for you meet with the President . It is in Scotland’s interest that political leaders reject the President’s anti-rights agenda and stand firm against authoritarian practices.” Liz Thomson, Amnesty International ’s Scotland Programme Director, added: “President Trump’s administration has fully embraced authoritarian tactics while furthering an anti-rights agenda – no UK leader should be rolling out the red carpet to welcome him. “If the Scottish Government wants to be seen as a principled global actor, warm words on human rights must translate into action – especially in high-stakes moments like this. “The First Minister ’s priority during his visit should be to directly challenge the serious human rights violations the Trump administration is responsible for, and to ensure that those who wish to peacefully protest are fully able to without fear of heavy-handed policing. “This meeting will be a major test of the First Minister ’s commitment to human rights and international justice. In a moment of global crisis for these values, the question is whether he will rise to the occasion or remain silent in the face of authoritarian practices.” Swinney backed Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in November’s presidential contest - a stance critics believe was ill-judged. But he has reigned in his criticism of the Republican since he re-entered the White House . A meeting with Trump’s son Eric at Bute House was seen as an attempt at softening relations.
