LIVE: President Trump Visits Scotland for Golf and Bilateral Talks With Britain in UK | CNBC TV18
U.S. President Donald Trump playing golf at his Turnberry course, while visiting Scotland for four days.
A major security operation is ramping up as Donald Trump begins a four-day private visit in Scotland. The US president arrived at Prestwick Airport on Friday evening and stayed at his luxury golf resort, Trump Turnberry in South Ayrshire.
Wearing a white “USA” cap and accompanied by his second son Eric, he teed off for a round of golf at about 10:00 on his first morning at the resort. Trump is due to meet UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Scotland’s First Minister John Swinney over the next few days, as well as opening a second 18-hole course at his estate in Aberdeenshire.
The president has said “it’s great to be in Scotland” and has praised the leaders of both governments. Several hundred demonstrators have gathered in both Aberdeen and Edinburgh to protest against the visit. Many carried signs referring to an expletive slogan made infamous by the late comedian Janey Godley in 2018.
Questions have already been raised about the scale of the visit and the security implications, with police representatives raising concerns about the costs involved and the impact on staffing.
He’s also due to have an informal meeting with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and “refine” a recent U.S.-U.K trade deal, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters last week.
