US President Donald Trump's upcoming visit to Scotland is generating significant controversy and logistical challenges.
The trip, centered around his family-owned golf courses and meetings with UK leaders, has prompted a massive security operation involving thousands of police officers, with costs estimated in the millions. Police unions are threatening legal action over alleged breaches of workforce agreements, warning that the visit will stretch resources and impact regular policing. Widespread protests are planned across Scottish cities, with activists and human rights groups voicing strong opposition to Trump's policies and presence.
The visit is also expected to disrupt local travel and has raised concerns about the impact on public safety and civil liberties.
