President Trump Received Clear 'Warning' Playing Golf Saturday
The President of the United States spent time playing golf in Scotland on Saturday.
However, while President Trump, 79, has major Scottish roots, he received a clear "warning" from the people in the country on Saturday. They do not seem to want him there.
President Trump and his son, Eric, played with the U.S. ambassador to Britain, Warren Stephens, at Trump Turnberry, a historic course. However, dozens of protestors showed up to his round, warning him to stay away.
"I don't think I could just stand by and not do anything," one protestor told CBS News. She reportedly held a cardboard sign that said "We don't negotiate with fascists." She said "so many people here loathe him. We're not divided. We're not divided by religion, or race or political allegiance, we're just here together because we hate him."
From the report:
Mr. Trump and his son Eric played with the U.S. ambassador to Britain, Warren Stephens, near Turnberry, a historic course that the Trump family's company took over in 2014. Security was tight, and protesters kept at a distance and unseen by the group during Mr. Trump's round. He was dressed in black, with a white "USA" cap, and was spotted driving a golf cart.
The president appeared to play an opening nine holes, stop for lunch, then head out for nine more. By the middle of the afternoon, plainclothes security officials began leaving, suggesting Mr. Trump was done for the day.
Hundreds of demonstrators gathered on the cobblestone and tree-lined street in front of the U.S. Consulate about 100 miles away in Edinburgh, Scotland's capital. Speakers told the crowd that Mr. Trump was not welcome and criticized British Prime Minister Keir Starmer for striking a recent trade deal to avoid stiff U.S. tariffs on goods imported from the U.K.
President Trump likely won't let the criticism get to him, but many of the people in Scotland have sent him a clear message.

I push Keir Starmer to be more extroverted in Scotland
Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar has said he pushes Sir Keir Starmer to be more 'extroverted' when he comes to Scotland. Mr Sarwar said he speaks to the Prime Minister every two or three weeks, often calling at weekends when they both have more free time. The Scottish Labour leader also said he will not engage in any 'back room stitch-ups' with other parties if he becomes first minister following the Scottish election next year. At an Edinburgh Fringe event in front of a live audience, Mr Sarwar was interviewed by Catherine Salmond, editor of The Herald. He was pressed on his relationship with the UK Labour leader and whether Sir Keir was comfortable coming north of the border. He said: 'We're different personalities… I am much more probably conversational, out there, a bit of an extrovert. 'I think it's safe to say he's a bit more introverted in that sense.' Mr Sarwar said Sir Keir had become more relaxed and confident in the five years since becoming Labour leader. He said Sir Keir was more relaxed in Scotland than in other parts of the UK, adding: 'I think we've built up a rapport, probably because I am pushing to be a bit more of extroverted than perhaps he is in other parts.' He said he spoke to the Prime Minister around 'two or three times a month'. However he said the early part of Labour's response to the war in Gaza had been 'challenging' for his party, referring to an interview the Prime Minister gave where he said Israel had the 'right' to withhold power and water from Gaza in response to the October 7 attacks. 'I think the early part was challenging, he himself accepts that what he said in the LBC interview wasn't right,' Mr Sarwar said. Discussing the Middle East further, he said: 'I think we have to be doing much more to hold the Israeli government to account. 'To provide evidence that there is not any components that are being used in a proactive way in Gaza.' Looking ahead to the 2026 Scottish election, Mr Sarwar said he was putting his 'heart, soul energy, time' into winning. He said it would be a 'very close election' likely to result in a 'parliament of minorities'. Rather than doing deals such as the SNP-Green powersharing agreement, he said he would 'work progressively with the parliament' if he became first minister. He said: 'We are looking to form a minority Scottish Labour government that does no kind of back room stich-up but instead moves to govern based on what we promised.'

Trump Tells European Leaders He Intends to Meet With Putin and Zelensky
President Trump intends to meet in person with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia as soon as next week, and he plans to follow up shortly afterward with a meeting between himself, Mr. Putin and President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, according to two people familiar with the plan. Mr. Trump disclosed his plans in a call with European leaders on Wednesday, the people said. The meetings would include only those three men, and would not include any European counterparts. The European leaders, who have tried to play a coordinating role on meetings to end the violence between Russia and Ukraine while supporting their European neighbor, appeared to accept what Mr. Trump said, one of the people familiar with the call said. It was not immediately clear if Mr. Putin or Mr. Zelensky have agreed to the plan Mr. Trump described. But Mr. Zelensky was on Mr. Trump's call with European leaders, saying in a statement afterward that he had a 'conversation with President Trump' and that his and European leaders' position was that 'the war must end,' but 'an honest end.' The call also included the leader of the United Kingdom, the German chancellor and the NATO secretary general, along with Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Mr. Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff. Mr. Trump gave some details of the call in a post on his social media site, saying Mr. Witkoff had met for several hours in Russia with Mr. Putin. He did not mention his plans for his own summits. 'Afterwards, I updated some of our European Allies,' Mr. Trump wrote on his social media site, Truth Social. 'Everyone agrees this War must come to a close, and we will work towards that in the days and weeks to come. Thank you for your attention to this matter!' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

What Trump's Immigration Crackdown Means for the 2028 Olympics
President Trump is making plans to celebrate the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, an event that will draw many thousands of people from around the world, even as he makes it harder than ever for foreign visitors to come to the United States. Mr. Trump has imposed a travel ban and visa restrictions on 19 countries, and the State Department has announced a pilot program that would require some foreign visitors to pay bonds of up to $15,000 to secure a visa. Here's a look at what Mr. Trump's immigration crackdown means for the Olympic Games: Will there be exceptions for athletes? Yes. Athletes competing in the Olympic Games and World Cup (which the United States will host in 2026) are exempt from the travel ban. The White House has said it will allow into the country 'any athlete or member of an athletic team, including coaches, persons performing a necessary support role and immediate relatives, traveling for the World Cup, Olympics.' Olympians typically use visas reserved for high-level athletes. Mr. Trump announced a task force on Tuesday to make sure there is a streamlined visa processing and credentialing process for foreign athletes, coaches, officials and members of the news media. Will there be exceptions for fans? No. Fans from the affected countries will have to abide by the restrictions. The State Department said people who want to come and watch the Olympic Games should apply for visas as soon as possible. 'We encourage prospective foreign travelers who will need U.S. visas to travel to the 2028 Olympics to apply early,' the statement said. The State Department noted that the travel and tourism sector contributes nearly 10 million jobs to the U.S. economy. What are the latest restrictions? Beginning on Aug. 20, the United States will begin a one-year pilot program in which travelers from Malawi or Zambia must post a bond ranging from $5,000 to $15,000, determined at the person's visa interview. The bond requirement applies to travelers eligible for a business or tourism visa, known as a B1 or B2 visa. As a condition of the bond, all visa holders from these two countries must arrive at and depart from the United States via Boston Logan International Airport, John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York or Washington Dulles International Airport. The State Department says the bond will help ensure the travelers do not overstay their visas. The countries were chosen based on their high visa overstay rates, according to data compiled by the Homeland Security Department. Who is affected by the travel ban? In June, Mr. Trump barred travel to the United States by citizens of Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. Mr. Trump also imposed restrictions, but stopped short of a full ban, on travel from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela.
