US President Trump's Scotland visit blends politics and business at new golf site
President Donald Trump landed in Scotland to inaugurate a new golf course in Balmedie while blending presidential duties with business promotion. The visit, labeled a 'working trip' by the White House, also includes meetings with UK and EU leaders. read more Lashed by cold winds and overlooking choppy, steel-gray North Sea waters, the breathtaking sand dunes of Scotland's northeastern coast rank among Donald Trump's favourite spots on earth. 'At some point, maybe in my very old age, I'll go there and do the most beautiful thing you've ever seen,' Trump said in 2023, during his New York civil fraud trial, talking about his plans for future developments on his property in Balmedie, Aberdeenshire. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD At 79 and back in the White House, Trump is making at least part of that pledge a reality, landing in Scotland on Friday as his family's business prepares for the Aug. 13 opening of a new golf course bearing his name. Trump will be in Scotland until Tuesday, and plans to talk trade with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. The Aberdeen area is already home to another of his courses, Trump International Scotland, and the Republican president is also visiting a Trump course near Turnberry, around 200 miles (320 kilometers) away on Scotland's southwest coast. Trump said upon arrival on Friday evening that his son is 'gonna cut a ribbon' for the new course during his trip. Eric Trump also went with his father to break ground on the project back in 2023. Using a presidential overseas trip — with its sprawling entourage of advisers, White House and support staffers, Secret Service agents and reporters — to help show off Trump-brand golf destinations demonstrates how the president has become increasingly comfortable intermingling his governing pursuits with promoting his family's business interests. The White House has brushed off questions about potential conflicts of interest, arguing that Trump's business success before he entered politics was a key to his appeal with voters. White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers called the Scotland swing a 'working trip.' But she added Trump 'has built the best and most beautiful world-class golf courses anywhere in the world, which is why they continue to be used for prestigious tournaments and by the most elite players in the sport.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Trump family's new golf course has tee times for sale Trump went to Scotland to play his Turnberry course during his first term in 2018 while en route to a meeting in Finland with Russian President Vladimir Putin. But this trip comes as the new golf course is already actively selling tee times. 'We're at a point where the Trump administration is so intertwined with the Trump business that he doesn't seem to see much of a difference,' said Jordan Libowitz, vice president for the ethics watchdog organization Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. 'It's as if the White House were almost an arm of the Trump Organization.' During his first term, the Trump Organization signed an ethics pact barring deals with foreign companies. An ethics framework for Trump's second term allows them. Trump's assets are in a trust run by his children, who are also handling day-to-day operations of the Trump Organization while he's in the White House. The company has inked many recent, lucrative foreign agreements involving golf courses, including plans to build luxury developments in Qatar and Vietnam, even as the administration negotiates tariff rates for those countries and around the globe. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Trump's first Aberdeen course sparked legal battles Trump's existing Aberdeenshire course, meanwhile, has a history nearly as rocky as the area's cliffs. It has struggled to turn a profit and was found by Scottish conservation authorities to have partially destroyed nearby sand dunes. Trump's company also was ordered to cover the Scottish government's legal costs after the course unsuccessfully sued over the construction of a nearby wind farm, arguing in part that it hurt golfers' views. And the development was part of the massive civil case, which accused Trump of inflating his wealth to secure loans and make business deals. Trump's company's initial plans for his first Aberdeen-area course called for a luxury hotel and nearby housing. His company received permission to build 500 houses, but Trump suggested he'd be allowed to build five times as many and borrowed against their values without actually building any homes, the lawsuit alleged. Judge Arthur Engoron found Trump liable last year and ordered his company to pay $355 million in fines — a judgment that has grown with interest to more than $510 million as Trump appeals. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Golfers-in-chief Family financial interests aside, Trump isn't the first sitting U.S. president to golf in Scotland. That was Dwight D. Eisenhower, who played in Turnberry in 1959. George W. Bush visited the famed course at Gleneagles in 2005 but didn't play. Many historians trace golf back to Scotland in the Middle Ages. Among the earliest known references to game was a Scottish Parliament resolution in 1457 that tried to ban it, along with soccer, because of fears both were distracting men from practicing archery — then considered vital to national defense. The first U.S. president to golf regularly was William Howard Taft, who served from 1909 to 1913 and ignored warnings from his predecessor, Teddy Roosevelt, that playing too much would make it seem like he wasn't working hard enough. Woodrow Wilson played nearly every day but Sundays, and even had the Secret Service paint his golf balls red so he could practice in the snow, said Mike Trostel, director of the World Golf Hall of Fame. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Warren G. Harding trained his dog Laddie Boy to fetch golf balls while he practiced. Lyndon B. Johnson's swing was sometimes described as looking like a man trying to kill a rattlesnake. Bill Clinton, who liked to joke that he was the only president whose game improved while in office, restored a putting green on the White House's South Lawn. It was originally installed by Eisenhower, who was such an avid user that he left cleat marks in the wooden floors of the Oval Office by the door leading out to it. Bush stopped golfing after the start of the Iraq war in 2003 because of the optics. Barack Obama had a golf simulator installed in the White House that Trump upgraded during his first term, Trostel said. John F. Kennedy largely hid his love of the game as president, but he played on Harvard's golf team and nearly made a hole-in-one at California's renowned Cypress Point Golf Club just before the 1960 Democratic National Convention. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'I'd say, between President Trump and President John F. Kennedy, those are two of the most skilled golfers we've had in the White House,' Trostel said. Trump, Trostel said, has a handicap index — how many strokes above par a golfer is likely to score — of a very strong 2.5, though he's not posted an official round with the U.S. Golf Association since 2021. That's better than Joe Biden's handicap of 6.7, which also might be outdated, and Obama, who once described his own handicap as an 'honest 13.' The White House described Trump as a championship-level golfer but said he plays with no handicap.

Sundar Pichai joins billionaire club: All about his education, family & and net worth
Sundar Pichai, the soft-spoken, Chennai-born executive at the helm of Alphabet, has quietly entered the ranks of billionaires. His fortune, now pegged at $1.1 billion by the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, comes not from flash or flamboyance but from a steady climb powered by rising Alphabet shares and a low-key leadership style. A rare feat for any non-founder tech CEO, but Pichai's journey was never typical to begin with. Early life and education Born on June 10, 1972, in what was then Madras, India, Sundar Pichai grew up in a two-room apartment. The living room doubled as a bedroom, where he and his brother would sleep each night. His father, Regunatha Pichai, worked as an electrical engineer at British firm GEC. His mother, Lakshmi, was a stenographer. Money was tight, but the vision was clear. 'My mom and dad did what a lot of parents did at that time… they sacrificed a lot to make sure their children were educated,' Pichai once said. Source: X After schooling at Jawahar Vidyalaya and Vana Vani in Chennai, he earned a degree in metallurgy at IIT Kharagpur, graduating with a silver medal. That opened the door to Stanford, where he pursued a master's in engineering and materials science. By 1995, he had relocated to the U.S. for good, first working briefly at Applied Materials, before heading to Wharton for an MBA. Family and personal life It was at IIT Kharagpur that Sundar met Anjali. She was also studying chemical engineering, a quiet, driven young woman from Rajasthan whose father, Olaram Haryani, served in the government. Friendship turned to love, though like many IIT romances, the early years weren't always smooth. Today, the couple lives far from the glare of headlines. They have two children, Kavya and Kiran, whom they raise with deliberate privacy. While Sundar became a household name in tech, Anjali built a solid career of her own, beginning at Accenture and later moving into business operations at Intuit, a major software firm. In a 2018 interview, Pichai offered glimpses into how his family handles the very technology that made him a global figure. 'When I come home on a Friday evening, I really do want to let go of my devices for a couple days. I haven't quite succeeded in doing that,' he admitted during an interview. 'At home, our television is not easily accessible, so that there is 'activation energy' before you can easily go watch TV. I'm genuinely conflicted, because I see what my kids learn from all this. My son is 11 years old, and he is mining Ethereum and earning money. He's getting some insight into how the world works, how commerce works.' Net worth Alphabet, the parent company of Google, has seen its value soar. Since early 2023, its stock has delivered roughly 120 percent returns. That surge added over $1 trillion in market cap, and catapulted Pichai's net worth to 10 figures. Though his direct stake in Alphabet is just 0.02 percent, that sliver alone is valued at around $440 million. The rest of his wealth is largely in cash, amassed through years of compensation, bonuses, and stock awards. In August, he quietly marked 10 years as Google's CEO. The occasion coincided with an earnings update shared by Pichai on X (formerly Twitter), which even drew praise from Elon Musk.

India-UK free trade agreement 'game-changing,' every section stands to benefit: Goyal
NEW DELHI: Union Minister for Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal on Saturday termed the India-UK free trade agreement as "game-changing" and said that it will benefit every section, including the farmers, youths, entrepreneurs and MSMEs. The India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA), also called Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, was signed by Goyal and his counterpart Jonathan Reynolds in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday. Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters here, Goyal attributed the successful signing of the FTA to Prime Minister Modi's leadership. "It is a game-changing agreement," he said, adding that it will bring "immense opportunities" to India's farmers, entrepreneurs, MSMEs (micro, small and medium enterprises), youths, fishermen, and every sections of the society. India would be able to ship 99 per cent of its exports to the UK duty-free, he added. Goyal asserted that the agreement was signed with the UK "confidently" on India's terms while protecting "sensitive items" in agriculture and dairy sectors. "We have protected many of our sensitive items like rice and sugar. Dairy has not been opened, so is ethanol. India has kept itself safe in the areas that are sensitive. No duty concession has been given (in these areas)," he added.
