Trump heads to Scotland for 'working visit' focused on golf properties, meeting with Starmer

Source: ABC News

July 25, 2025, 9:21 AM

President Donald Trump is traveling to Scotland on Friday to visit both his Turnberry and Aberdeen golf properties. Trump is also expected to meet with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to discuss trade and refine a deal they announced in June to slash tariffs and expand market access between the two countries.

The trip abroad, which the White House described as a "working visit," comes at a particularly fraught moment in Trump's second term, as he faces questions from his supporters over his administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Trump is expected to spend four days in Scotland, his mother's native land. He visited the country during his 2016 presidential campaign and during his first term.

Some protests are being planned in response to the president's trip. The "Stop Trump" coalition said it is organizing demonstrations in Aberdeen and in Edinburgh outside the U.S. consulate for Saturday, July 26.

His secret service detail full of Nazis can spirit him away in one of those armored limos to a helicopter on the coast. Fly him to a Russian sub and outa here.

As we all know, this is so corrupt, using his office as President to negotiate a business deal.

golf course trump owns or rents his name to, regardless of where in the world it is?! Working visit, my butt. He's just trying to escape the Epstein/South Park fervor going on right now... he probably thinks it'll all be over when he gets back home. I LOVE Scotland is organizing protest demonstrations outside American consulates. Go Scots! Good on ya!
