U.S. President Donald Trump's visit to Scotland, where he owns multiple golf resorts and has family roots, is drawing widespread protests and creating major security challenges.
The trip, which includes trade talks and meetings with political leaders, has reignited longstanding tensions between Trump and local communities opposed to his business ventures. Police Scotland is mounting one of its largest security operations since the Queen's funeral, redeploying thousands of officers and facing criticism from the Scottish Police Federation over alleged breaches of workforce agreements and health and safety standards. Demonstrations are planned across major cities, reflecting deep divisions over Trump's presence and policies.
The visit highlights the complex relationship between Trump, his mother's homeland, and the Scottish public.
