Former U.S. President Donald Trump is visiting Scotland, the homeland of his mother, to open a new golf course and conduct trade talks.
His trip has reignited longstanding local opposition to his golf properties, with many Scots refusing to welcome him and large protests planned in Aberdeen and Edinburgh. The visit has triggered a massive security operation, with thousands of police officers redeployed and the Scottish Police Federation threatening legal action over alleged breaches of workforce agreements and health and safety standards. Local officials and police warn that the visit is stretching resources to the limit, comparable to the scale of the Queen's funeral.
Trump's complex relationship with Scotland—marked by both personal heritage and business controversy—remains a source of division and public outcry.
