Trump Heads To Scotland

Donald Trump arrives in Scotland on Friday evening for a private five-day visit of his mother’s ancestral home, taking in two golf resorts he owns. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer knows full well that when it comes to this US president, little is ever really private.

Trump’s first trip to Britain since his reelection will see him travel to his estates at Turnberry on Scotland’s picturesque west coast and Menie in Aberdeenshire. It comes only weeks before he crosses the Atlantic again on an official state visit to meet King Charles III in September. For Starmer, who will meet Trump in Scotland, it’s not without its risks.

The two leaders have struck up an unlikely partnership this year, with Trump repeatedly commenting on their positive working relationship in spite of the premier’s left-wing politics: “for some reason, we get along,” he said alongside Starmer at the Group of Seven summit in Canada last month.
