The Latest: Trump inaugurates his family's newest luxury golf course in Scotland

President Donald Trump cut the ribbon at a ceremony for his family's second golf course in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Trump has been visiting Scotland on what the White House has called a working trip, which has included meetings with world leaders and time playing golf at properties his family owns. Trump will be the new course's first official player, though it opens to the public on Aug. 13 and could see a boost in sales because of the president's promotion. Trump used another one of his family's luxury golf courses on Scotland's southwestern coast to host British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, mixing critical discussions on the deepening food crisis in Gaza, Russia's war in Ukraine and tariff rates with boasts about the property's opulence.

Alexander Isak: Liverpool have new £165m transfer plan to sign Newcastle striker

Liverpool have devised a new £165million plan to sign Alexander Isak this summer. The Reds confirmed their interest in the Newcastle striker earlier this month, expressing a willingness to open talks over a deal for around £120m. Newcastle promptly told them that Isak is not for sale. However, Isak has now told Newcastle he wants to leave, which has prompted the Magpies to explore deals for Yoane Wissa and Benjamin Sesko. Liverpool are expected to launch their first formal bid for Isak this week, with the £65m sale of Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich freeing up a significant chunk of the required transfer fee. Newcastle have reportedly in private set Isak's asking price at £150m, though it remains to be seen if the striker's transfer request will lower that demand. Isak, arguably the best striker in the Premier League, is expected to cost a British record fee, with a fee of at least £130m expected. Liverpool have already broken the British transfer record this summer with the £116m arrival of Florian Wirtz. In any case, Arne Slot is reportedly prepared to sell three more players to fund a move for Isak. According to ESPN, Liverpool believe they can raise a further £100m by selling three unwanted players. Darwin Nunez continues to attract interest from abroad, while Harvey Elliott is thought to be of interest to a number of Premier League club. Federico Chiesa, a disaster signing from last summer despite his £12.5m cost, is also up for sale and could reportedly return to Italy.
