(The Hill) President Donald Trump departed Friday for a five-day stay in Scotland, where he is expected to meet with British and Scottish officials and visit his properties there.

The White House has described the trip as a “working visit,” pointing to planned discussions with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer about a trade agreement between the U.S. and the United Kingdom.

But Trump will visit his properties at Turnberry and Aberdeen, giving a publicity boost to his personal golf courses and his family’s brand while overseas.

Here’s what to know about Trump’s visit.

Talking trade with the UK

Trump told reporters while leaving for Scotland that he would be meeting with United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Friday evening, expecting that the two will work through more aspects of the trade deal they struck in May.

“We’re meeting with the prime minister tonight. We’re going to be talking about the trade deal that we made and maybe even approve it,” Trump said.

He added, “we want to talk about certain aspects, which is going to be good for both countries. More fine-tuning. Also, we’re going to do a little celebrating together, because, you know, we got along very well. U.K.’s been trying to make a deal with us for like, 12 years, and haven’t been able to do it. We got it done, and he’s doing a very good job, this prime minister. Good guy.”

Last month, Trump and Starmer detailed the trade agreement together while at the Group of Seven (G7) summit in Canada after they first announced it in May.

The deal includes “billions of dollars of increased market access for American exports, especially for beef, ethanol, and certain other American agricultural exports,” according to the order, and includes a stipulation that the U.S. will create an annual quota of 100,000 cars for U.K. imports at a 10 percent tariff rate.

It also stipulates that the U.K. remains committed to “working to meet American requirements on the security of the supply chains of steel and aluminum products,” which would prompt the U.S. to “promptly construct a quota at most-favored-nation rates for steel and aluminum articles.”

The U.K. agreement was the first trade deal announced since Trump imposed tariffs on trading partners, although it was in the works before then. This week, Trump has also announced deals with Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines and the administration has continued talks with the European Union.

In addition to meeting with Starmer, Trump is slated to meet with First Minister of Scotland John Swinney during his visit.

“We have a lot of things in Scotland,” Trump said. “I have a lot of love, my mother was born in Scotland. And he’s a good man.”

Spotlight on Trump’s properties and possible protests

While the White House has billed Trump’s trip as a working visit to Scotland, critics have highlighted how the president is once again mingling politics with his business interests.

Trump owns two golf courses in Scotland— one in Aberdeen that opened in 2012, and one at Turnberry that opened in 2014. He is slated to celebrate the opening of a third on the trip. The new 18-hold course is outside of Aberdeen and will be named after his mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, who was born in Scotland.

Ethics watchdogs and Democrats have accused Trump of blatantly profiting off of the presidency, pointing to the launch of a cryptocurrency, Trump-branded sneakers and Bibles and a line of fragrances, among other ventures.

Visits to Trump properties tend to generate scrutiny, as the government pays for Secret Service and other White House staff to stay there as well.

Trump is also expected to be greeted with protests during his stay in Scotland.

A “Stop Trump” coalition is organizing demonstrations in Aberdeen on Saturday, and in Edinburgh outside the U.S. consulate.

Trump experienced protests during his last presidential visit to his Turnberry golf course in 2018, when groups gathered outside the property to boo the president and demonstrators flew a paraglider around the area with a message criticizing him.

Trump left Washington amid GOP turmoil over Epstein

Trump headed out of Washington while calls for the release of more materials related to deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein have grown.

Trump said he hasn’t thought about pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell on Friday morning, as she was set to meet for a second day with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche at the Tallahassee prison where she’s serving her sentence.

He also told reporters they should be focused on other Epstein associates and other topics, and suggested that he has a list of people who were associated with Epstein, other than him, that he could give to the media.

“People should really focus on how well the country’s doing or they should focus on the fact that [former President] Barack Hussein Obama led a coup or they should focus on the fact that [former Treasury Secretary] Larry Summers from Harvard, that [former President] Bill Clinton, who you know very well, and lots of other friends, really close friends of Jeffrey [Epstein] should be spoken about,” Trump said.

“They don’t talk about them, they talk about me. I have nothing to do with the guy,” he added.

The Trump administration is facing increasing pressure to release more information from the Epstein files after the Justice Department earlier this month released a memo stating that Epstein killed himself and did not keep a client list. Attorney General Pam Bondi had previously said such files were on her desk.

The House broke for its weeks-long August Recess one day early this week, while Republican leadership have tried to contain furor over the handling of the Epstein-related materials.
