Trump's Scotland trip

Donald Trump in Scotland for golf and tariff talks

US President Donald Trump landed at Prestwick Airport in Scotland on Friday evening. After a brief chat with the press, he got into his car and drove to his golf club, The Scotsman reports.

In addition to playing golf, Trump will also discuss tariffs with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and meet British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Trump will also open a new golf course during the visit. It is very unusual for presidents to mix private business with work in this way, but the White House has dismissed it as a conflict of interest and stressed that it is a working trip.

Trump's anger at Europe's wind power: "Killing birds"

Donald Trump directed new criticism at Europe when he spoke to reporters during his visit to Scotland on Saturday, The Guardian reports.

- I have two things to say to Europe, he says, pointing out wind power and migration.

The US president says wind power is "destroying" beautiful fields and killing birds. According to Trump, European countries must "tighten up" when it comes to migration.

- You will have no Europe left, he says, according to the newspaper. 

Demonstrations in Scotland during Trump's visit

Hundreds of protesters took to the streets of Scotland on Saturday in connection with the US president's visit to the country. This is reported by AFP.

Several hundred demonstrated outside the US consulate in the capital Edinburgh and in the city of Aberdeen, near where Trump owns another golf resort.

The participants held placards with texts such as "Scotland hates Trump". Many also waved Palestinian flags.

- I am here because of the fascism in America under Trump's rule. I am here because of the genocide in Gaza that is financed and enabled by the British and American governments, 44-year-old Amy Hanlon in Aberdeen told AFP.
