Trump heads to Scotland to talk golf, politics and trade

President Donald Trump is set to travel to Scotland on Friday for a five-day visit. During this time, he plans to visit his golf resorts located in Turnberry and Aberdeen and meet with British Prime Minister Kier Starmer and Scotland’s First Minister John Swinney.

The specific dates for his meetings with the British officials are not yet confirmed, but discussions are expected to prominently feature the U.S.-U.K. trade agreement.

The United Kingdom remains one of the few nations with which the U.S. has moved forward on trade agreements under fairly favorable conditions. Last month, both countries signed an agreement called the “Economic Prosperity Deal,” which involves reducing tariffs.

The British government did not respond to Fox News Digital’s questions whether Starmer is expected to play alongside Trump at any point during his trip. 

Scotland appears to hold special significance for Trump as his mother, Mary Anne MacLeod Trump, was born and raised in Scotland before she moved to Queens, New York, and he dedicated his club in Aberdeen to her after breaking ground in 2023 and naming an 18-round course the MacLeod Course.

He is also reported to have created a memorial garden to his mother at the resort. 

Though his strong affection for Scotland has not always been reciprocated and Trump has previously been met with protests during his trip.

Scotland Police confirmed with Fox New Digital that “significant” security precautions have been taken ahead of Trump’s visit, including pulling in additional forces from across the U.K. to help with the police effort.

“A policing plan will be in place to maintain public safety, balance rights to peaceful protest and minimize disruption,” Assistant Chief Constable Emma Bond said, confirming that protests are once again expected.

“The visit will require a significant police operation using local, national and specialist resources from across Police Scotland, supported by colleagues from other U.K. police forces as part of mutual aid arrangements,” she added. 

Trump will return to the U.K. in September for an official state visit, where he will meet with King Charles III at Windsor Castle.

The visit will mark the first time the U.K. has invited a U.S. president for a second state visit.
