Scotland’s police force is reportedly preparing for a potential visit from US President Donald Trump later this month.
Rumours have swirled for months that the president will visit the country this year to coincide with the opening of a second course at the golf club he owns in Aberdeenshire.
Today, Police Scotland confirmed preparation is underway for a ‘significant’ policing operation ahead of a visit from Trump this month.
The final dates haven’t been confirmed, but it’s currently not possible to book a room at Trump’s golf club in Turnberry, South Ayrshire or his Aberdeenshire club between July 24 and 28.
His previous visits to Scotland have been tainted by mass protests from Scots, who made it clear they were not happy with the President visiting.

‘While official confirmation has not yet been made, it is important that we prepare in advance for what would be a significant policing operation.’
