President Donald Trump spent Saturday on the golf course at his Scottish resort while hundreds of protesters took to the streets across the United Kingdom, denouncing his visit and criticizing British leaders for accommodating the American president.
Trump played golf alongside his son Eric and US Ambassador to Britain Warren Stephens at Turnberry course along Scotland's coast. The Trump Organization acquired the historic golf resort in 2008, making it a centerpiece of the family's international property portfolio.
The president's weekend golf session comes as he prepares for high-level diplomatic meetings with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to discuss trade relations.
Edinburgh saw hundreds of protesters gathered on cobblestone streets outside the US Consulate where speakers declared Trump 'unwelcome' and criticized Prime Minister Starmer's recent trade agreement with the United States.
The deal, designed to avoid steep US tariffs on British goods, has sparked controversy among opposition groups who view it as capitulation to American pressure.
Upon arriving in Scotland Friday night, Trump delivered sharp criticism of European immigration policies , stating, "This immigration is killing Europe. You better get your act together. You're not going to have Europe anymore", reported AP.
