President Trump‘s Scottish visit Met with Security and Protests
A significant security operation was in place as the US president began a five-day private visit to Scotland, commencing with a golf outing.Extensive police and military personnel were observed conducting searches of the grounds at the South Ayrshire venue. Road closures were implemented, restricting access for both local residents and members of the media.
With no official engagements scheduled for Saturday, the president, a known golf enthusiast, was free to play the renowned Turnberry course. During his visit, Mr. Trump is also slated to travel to Aberdeenshire, where he is expected to inaugurate a second golf course at his resort in Balmedie.
Hundreds of protesters convened in Edinburgh and Aberdeen, near the location of Mr. Trump’s other Scottish golf resort, to voice their opposition to the president. In Aberdeen, Green MSP for North East Scotland, Maggie Chapman, addressed a crowd of hundreds, stating, “We stand in solidarity not only against Trump but against everything he and his politics stand for.”
Chapman further commented on the US president’s stance, noting, “He believes that climate change isn’t real, he believes that cutting services for those in the world with the least is the right thing to do.” She added, “We say no to all of those things, not in our name, never in our name.” Speaking to the PA news agency, she declared, “He is not welcome in Scotland, he is certainly not welcome in Aberdeenshire.” Chapman also highlighted that “all of the promises he has repeatedly made to Scotland have come to nothing, there hasn’t been the advancement of jobs or houses that he promised when he opened his course in Aberdeenshire a few years ago.”
Anita bhadani, a participant in the Stop Trump Coalition protest outside the US Consulate General’s office in Edinburgh, described the weekend’s events as a “carnival of resistance,” with numerous campaign groups actively participating in their communities or at rallies. Bhadani echoed concerns that Mr. Trump’s “huge promises” of job creation through development around his Scottish golf courses had not materialized.
Several speakers addressed the Edinburgh gathering, criticizing Mr. Trump. One speaker reportedly chanted “death to the IDF,” in an apparent reference to the Israeli Defense Forces.
