What did Donald Trump say while in Scotland?
He met with political leaders and made comments about the UK-US trade deal, starvation in Gaza, and applying pressure on Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine.
The US President also cut the ribbon and teed off in celebration of a new 18-hole course at his Trump International Golf Links on the Menie Estate in Aberdeenshire.
Here's a round-up of what he said while he was here. Getty Images Donald Trump meets with Prime Minister Keir Starmer at Turnberry.
'My mother was born in Scotland, and it's an incredible place, a beautiful place,' he told reporters as he stood on the steps of his Turnberry golf resort.
Trump said he has a 'great love' for Scotland and that he wanted the country to 'thrive'.
He said his mother Mary Anne MacLeod would return to her homeland 'once a year' for a visit.
'So yeah, it gives me a feeling, you know it's different, you go to another country, you have no relationship to it… but it's different when your mother was born here,' he said.
The President also said he did not want to 'get involved' in British domestic politics when asked for his opinion on plans for a second referendum on Scottish independence.
Trump referred to the suggestion that such a referendum could only take place once in a generation, telling reporters: 'There was a little bit of a restriction, like 50 or 75 years, before you could take another vote because, you know, a country can't go through that too much.'
Speaking about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Trump said the children 'look very hungry'.
The President has said he is 'working together' with Israel 'to try and get things straightened out' in Gaza amid warnings of severe mass starvation in the enclave.
After opening his new golf course in Menie, Aberdeenshire, a reporter from the crowd asked the US President 'what will you say next to Benjamin Netanyahu', the prime minister of Israel.
'We're working together to try and get things straightened out,' Trump said.
Earlier during his speech at the course, the US leader said he would fly back to the Washington to 'put out fires all over the world'. Getty Images President Donald Trump boards Air Force One bound for Scotland on July 25.
Trump suggested he would reduce the 50-day deadline for Russia to agree to a ceasefire with Ukraine.
The President said he was 'very disappointed' with Vladimir Putin.
'We thought we had that settled numerous times, and then President Putin goes out and starts launching rockets into some city like Kyiv and kills a lot of people in a nursing home or whatever,' Trump said.
'We're going to have to look and I'm going to reduce that 50 days that I gave him to a lesser number, because I think I already know the answer, what's going to happen.'
Trump said Scotland has 'the ugliest windmills I've ever seen'.
He said the 'ugly monsters' were 'destroying the beauty' of Scottish fields and waterways.
'Wind is a disaster,' Trump said, 'Wind is the most expensive form of energy. When we go to Aberdeen you'll see some of the ugliest windmills you've ever seen.
'They're the height of a 50-story building. You could take 1,000 times more energy from a hole in the ground. It's called oil and gas, and you have it in the North Sea.'
Trump said he had restricted the construction of wind turbines in the United States because they 'kill all your birds', and he claimed that wind needs 'massive subsidy'.
While in Scotland he also hit out at taxes on North Sea oil, saying the resource is a 'treasure chest for the United Kingdom'.
'Incentivize the drillers, fast. A vast fortune to be made for the UK, and far lower energy costs for the people,' he wrote on his Truth Social network.
The President was also asked about his advice for dealing with the small boats crisis in the UK.
'If you are stopping the wrong people, my hats are off to you,' Trump said.
The President said if the 'boats are loaded up with bad people, and they usually are because other countries don't send their best', then he said the UK is doing a 'fantastic' thing.

Swinney welcomes bringing Gaza children to UK but ‘regrets' it wasn't sooner
First Minister John Swinney has criticised the UK Government for not acting sooner to bring children from Gaza to the UK for medical treatment. Mr Swinney welcomed reported plans that up to 300 children could be flown from Gaza to be treated on the NHS. But he said he regretted the action did not come sooner. The SNP leader said he had written to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer on July 9 urging such action to be taken. He said: 'We have been consistently clear that the suffering being inflicted on the people of Gaza is beyond any justification. 'People in Gaza are being bombed and left to starve by Israel on a massive scale. 'I wrote to the Prime Minister on 9 July to request support from the UK Government in meeting the call from Unicef to provide medical care for children from Gaza. 'If the UK Government is prepared to evacuate Palestinians for medical treatment it would be entirely welcome. 'My only regret is the UK Government has taken this long to act. 'I urge the UK Government to do everything in its power to move swiftly so that lives can be saved. And Scotland will play our part.' The evacuation plans are reportedly set to be announced within weeks. A parent or guardian will accompany each child, as well as siblings if necessary, and the Home Office will carry out biometric and security checks before travel, the Sunday Times reported. This will happen 'in parallel' with an initiative by Project Pure Hope, a group set up to bring sick and injured Gazan children to the UK privately for treatment. More than 50,000 children are estimated to have been killed or injured in Gaza since October 2023, according to Unicef. Sir Keir said last week that the UK was 'urgently accelerating' efforts to bring children over for treatment. A UK Government spokesperson said: 'We are taking forward plans to evacuate more children from Gaza who require urgent medical care, including bringing them to the UK for specialist treatment where that is the best option for their care. 'We are working at pace to do so as quickly as possible, with further details to be set out in due course.'

Fringe venue ‘breaking law' by letting biological men use women's toilets
Women's rights activists have accused an Edinburgh Fringe venue of breaking the law by allowing biological men to use women's toilets. Underbelly Bristol Square, which is home to multiple small theatres, posted a disclaimer below the sign for the female bathroom telling attendees to 'use whichever toilet best fits your identity or expression'. The men's toilets display a similar disclaimer but individual cubicles appear to still be labelled 'gents'. The accusation comes after the Supreme Court said transgender women are not legally women in a landmark ruling. The ruling by Britain's most senior judges in April prompted new guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission, stating that although it is not compulsory for public services to have single-sex facilities such as toilets, it could be indirect sex discrimination against women if the only toilets provided are mixed-sex. The case was brought to the Supreme Court by the gender-critical campaign group For Women Scotland after two Scottish courts rejected its arguments that the Equality Act's definition of a woman was limited to people born biologically female. The photo was posted on social media by Alex McDonald, who said: 'My wife is incredibly upset by this. Maybe @edfringe could act and just remove them before @PoliceScotland get involved.' Mr McDonald added on X: 'Supporters of trans women in women's spaces and sports are generally holders of luxury beliefs; they've never been affected by what they believe in and are too removed from reality and what many people go through to care.' Susan Smith, from For Women Scotland, who brought the gender case to the Supreme Court, told The Telegraph: 'This is plainly unlawful. You can't have a sign like that. You can either have a mixed-sex space or a single-sex space. It's not possible to have both at the same time. It's either one or the other.' 'I think Underbelly is on rocky ground because something could happen in those toilets, like a sexual assault or someone even recording an individual undertaking their business. 'The law isn't optional; it's not something that you can elect to follow or not. 'Underbelly should remove these signs as soon as possible. If they fail to do so, then they could be flouting the law.' Helen Joyce, director of advocacy for human-rights charity Sex Matters, which campaigns for clarity about biological sex, added: 'The For Women Scotland judgment clarified the law concerning permissible sex discrimination in services and employment: it means biology, not paperwork or identity. 'There's no lawful basis for putting up male and female signs – for toilets, changing rooms and so on – and then declaring that you mean something other than sex. 'Organisations that fail to get this right risk enabling sexual harassment and ultimately being sued.' On Sunday, Underbelly Bistro Square included 57 events with genres ranging from children's shows, theatre, comedy, musicals, opera, cabaret and variety. Earlier, pro-Palestinian protesters disrupted a Fringe Festival event featuring John Swinney. The Scottish First Minister was being interviewed on Saturday by comedian Susan Morrison when the event was disrupted five times by six different groups of protesters. They called for an end to funding arms companies through Scottish Enterprise, the Scottish Government's economic agency. Mr Swinney told the crowd: 'I am absolutely aware of the horrors going on in Gaza. 'I use every opportunity to advance the arguments for a ceasefire and to get humanitarian aid and end the suffering of the people of Gaza.'

Russia and China begin war games in Sea of Japan after Trump nuclear threat
Russia and China are staging mock combat drills and other war games in the Sea of Japan in a sign of strengthening military ties. Though pre-planned, the joint naval exercises that began on Sunday came a day after Donald Trump moved US nuclear submarines closer to Russia in response to inflammatory comments from Russia's former president Dmitry Medvedev. The Joint Sea-2025 drills were launched in waters near to Vladivostok, Russia's largest port on the Pacific Ocean, according to a statement from China's Defence Ministry. Four Chinese vessels, including guided-missile destroyers Shaoxing and Urumqi, will be participating in the three-day exercises. This will include 'submarine rescue, joint anti-submarine, air defence and anti-missile operations, and maritime combat', followed by naval patrols in 'relevant waters of the Pacific'. Russia and China, which signed a 'no-limits' strategic partnership shortly before Russia went to war in Ukraine in 2022, conduct regular military exercises to rehearse coordination between their armed forces and send a deterrent signal to adversaries. Though Russia and China have both said that no third country is being targeted by their military cooperation, Japan has objected to the drills. It said that greater strategic coordination between Beijing and Moscow poses a 'strong concern' for its national security. Announcing the drills on Wednesday, Zhang Xiaogang, a spokesman for Beijing's defence ministry, criticised US Air Force drills with Japan and others in the western Pacific. 'The US has been blindly flexing its muscles in the Asia-Pacific region and attempting to use military drills as a pretext to gang up, intimidate and pressure other countries, and undermine peace and stability in the region,' Zhang claimed. China and Russia have held military exercises together for more than two decades, with 'Joint Sea' exercises beginning in 2012. However, their cooperation, which was once sporadic, has deepened considerably over the past decade, with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping having met more than 40 times. Mr Trump said his submarine order was made in response to what he called 'highly provocative' remarks by Mr Medvedev about the risk of war between the nuclear-armed adversaries. Russia and the United States have by far the biggest nuclear arsenals in the world. It is extremely rare for either country to discuss the deployment and location of its nuclear submarines.
