On the final day of his UK visit, former U.S. President Donald Trump inaugurated a brand-new golf course at his resort in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, cutting the ceremonial ribbon and expressing deep affection for the country.
“We love Scotland,” Trump declared, reflecting on his family’s strong ties to the region. He fondly recalled how his mother and sister used to visit Scotland “religiously” every summer.
Trump noted that he intends to play a round at the new course “very quickly” before returning to Washington D.C., where he joked he needs to “put out fires all over the world.”
During his visit, Trump also met with Scotland’s First Minister, John Swinney, who said he raised concerns about the “heartache in Scotland about the situation in Gaza.” Their discussions extended to other key topics such as oil, gas, and whisky taxes, which continued over a beef dinner the previous night.
This isn’t the first time Trump has drawn scrutiny for mixing personal business ventures with political activity. According to BBC North America Editor Sarah Smith, Trump’s business presence in the UK continues to raise eyebrows.
The former president also commented on the economic potential of North Sea oil and gas reserves, calling it a “treasure chest” with a “vast fortune” waiting to be unlocked — a claim currently under analysis by climate experts.
