U.S. President Donald Trump is visiting Scotland to open a new golf course and meet with political leaders, but his trip is stirring controversy and logistical headaches.
Many Scots remain opposed to Trump and his business ventures, leading to widespread 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 resentment over Trump's golf properties persists, and the visit is seen as a political risk for UK leaders who choose to meet with him.
Overall, Trump's return to his mother's homeland is marked by a mix of personal nostalgia, business interests, and significant public and institutional resistance.
