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 significant challenges for local authorities.
The trip, which includes trade talks and the opening of a new golf course, has reignited longstanding tensions between Trump and many Scots, who remain critical of his business practices and political stance. Security is being ramped up to unprecedented levels, 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. The visit is expected to stretch police resources to their limits, with some officials comparing the security operation to that of the Queen's funeral.
Amid the controversy, Trump's complex relationship with Scotland—his mother's homeland—remains in the spotlight.
