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, has drawn widespread protests and concerns from human rights groups. Police unions are threatening legal action, claiming workforce agreements and health and safety standards have been breached due to the strain on resources. Authorities are warning that policing across Scotland could be seriously affected, and flight restrictions are being imposed in the region.
