Donald Trump 'to visit Scotland and his three golf courses in the next month'
Donald Trump is reportedly planning to visit Scotland before the end of July. Donald Trump reportedly plans to visit Scotland next month for the first time since becoming the 47th US President. The American president is planning to visit his three Scottish golf courses before the end of July, reports the MailOnline. This comes after it was revealed that Trump hoped to meet with the King this summer at one of his Scottish residences, Balmoral or Dumfries House. However, it is understood their diaries clash Trump was invited for an unprecedented second State Visit likely to take place in September. MailOnline reported that in the final two weeks of July, security services are preparing for Air Force One to fly into Prestwick Airport with Trump having a ring of steel thrown around him amid anticipated protests. During his first stint in office, thousands of Scots took to the streets in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen to oppose the former Apprentice TV star's visit. The US president will likely visit Turnberry, which was vandalised by pro-Palestine protesters in March, and his Trump International controversial course in Aberdeen, which has had claims lodged against it that it destroyed one of the world's rarest sand dune systems. It's also thought that Trump may visit his new Aberdeenshire course, the MacLeod Trump International Golf Links course - named in honour of his Lewis-born mother, Mary Anne MacLeod - which is set to open before mid-August. Trump has repeatedly asked Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer about hosting The Open at Turnberry, which he bought in 2014 for £46 million, but the organisers have yet to concede to his demands. His son, Eric Trump, said recently: "Turnberry is considered to be the best golf course in the world by the players, the writers, the spectators and the entire golfing community. "If we get the call, and I sincerely hope we do, I promise the Royal and Ancient that we will be the best hosts The Open Championship has ever seen." After Trump was invited for second State Visit, the Scottish Greens launched a 'Dump Trump' petition, claiming the president was not welcome in Scotland as he presents "a clear and present danger to our climate, peace and human rights around the world". It was signed by over 6000 people. First Minister John Swinney condemned the president following his heated exchange with Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office earlier this year.

Trump Cancels Biden's Security Clearance; Biden Aide Says 'It's Like He's Working For Musk'
President Donald Trump has said he will revoke Joe Biden's security clearance, which includes access to daily intelligence briefings. On a post on his Truth Social platform, the US leader wrote: More from Deadline Trump Administration Boots More Outlets From Pentagon Workspaces: CNN And Washington Post To Be Replaced By Right-Wing Media 'Real Time': Bill Maher Thinks Kanye West Is "Angling For A Cabinet Position" After Coming Out As Nazi 'The View' Defends Travis Kelce's Answer About Taylor Swift Hater Donald Trump Attending Super Bowl: "I Think He Did The Right Thing" 'There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information.' And he added with reference to his Apprentice TV show catch phrase: JOE, YOU'RE FIRED.' BBC News reports that Trump was acting in retaliation to Biden taking the same measure on his own arrival in the White after the 2020 election, in which Biden cancelled Trump's access. This was the first time a sitting president had made such a move to refuse a former president access. It has always been seen as a courtesy that previous leaders be kept informed of domestic and international topics. In response to the move, Andrew Bates – former White House spokesperson during Biden's term – told Deadline: 'So, this is Trump's plan for cheaper eggs? After breaking his top campaign promise to lower costs on 'Day One,' he's instead busy cutting taxes for billionaires and targeting Americans who disagree with his agenda. It's like he's working for Elon Musk, not the American people.' The BBC adds that Trump has already revoked security clearance of more than four dozen former intelligence officials whom he accused of meddling in the 2020 election which saw Biden triumph over him to reach the White House. Trump wrote that Biden 'set this precedent in 2021, when he instructed the Intelligence Community (IC) to stop the 45th President of the United States (ME!) from accessing details on National Security, a courtesy provided to former Presidents.' And he added that Biden 'could not be trusted with sensitive information.' Biden previously said Trump could not be trusted because of his 'erratic behaviour.' Biden has kept mostly out of the limelight since he stepped away from the presidential election in 2024, to be replaced by his vice-president Kamala Harris on the ticket.
