Donald Trump's upcoming visit to Scotland has triggered a massive security operation, with up to 5,000 police officers being redeployed and costs estimated at £3 million.
The trip, centered around his family-owned golf courses and meetings with UK leaders, is expected to face widespread protests and public opposition. Police unions have threatened legal action, citing breaches of workforce agreements and concerns over officer safety and resources. The visit has also led to flight restrictions, military aircraft deployments, and warnings that policing across Scotland could be seriously affected.
Amidst the controversy, Trump is expected to discuss trade with Prime Minister Keir Starmer and address energy policy, while activists prepare large-scale demonstrations.
