Former U.S. President Donald Trump's visit to Scotland, where he owns multiple golf resorts and has family roots, is drawing widespread protests and significant controversy.
The trip has triggered a massive security operation, with thousands of police officers redeployed and concerns raised by police unions over stretched resources and alleged breaches of workforce agreements. Local opposition to Trump's business ventures and political presence remains strong, with demonstrations planned across major cities. The visit is further complicated by trade talks and diplomatic meetings, but the focus remains on the public backlash and the strain on Scottish policing.
Despite the personal significance of the trip for Trump, the reception is expected to be mixed and contentious.
