Trump Inaugurates Scotland Golf Course, Meets Leaders

U.S. President Donald Trump arrived in Scotland for a five-day visit to inaugurate a new Aberdeenshire golf course named after his mother and to visit his Turnberry resort. Trump plans to meet with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to discuss possible improvements to the U.S.-UK trade deal and may also meet with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen regarding a potential EU trade agreement. He highlighted his Scottish heritage and praised First Minister John Swinney during public remarks. The trip draws attention to the overlap between his business ventures and presidential responsibilities, as official meetings are held at his golf properties. Trump continues to face questions in the U.S. about the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, denying involvement in a reported birthday gift for Epstein and reiterating he has not considered pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell. The visit has sparked mixed reactions in Scotland, with both supporters and protesters present.
