Get ready for the event of the year! Donald Trump, former US president, is gearing up to visit the United Kingdom in the coming weeks, and the reason? The opening of a new golf course in Aberdeenshire, Scotland! Yes, you read that right — while the world faces serious issues, Trump is returning to the field where he’s king of golf. But this isn’t just any visit. Scottish police are already planning a “significant police operation” involving around 5,000 officers working 12-hour shifts! Is this overkill or just Trump’s style?
This will be Trump’s first visit to Scotland since he was re-elected US president last year, and his son Eric has already announced that Trump will personally attend the opening of this luxury golf complex, part of their family business empire. But that’s not all — an official state visit to the UK is also planned, most likely in September, marking the first time a US president visits during Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s tenure.
Why does this matter? Because Trump is expected to try to strengthen bilateral relations and secure trade exemptions for the US, which could have major impacts on the global economy. Police and authorities have yet to confirm details, but security measures will be top-notch.
While the world grapples with serious problems, Trump is back on the scene in style — golf club in one hand, political plans in the other. Is this just another Trump show or the start of a new era in US-UK relations? Time will tell. What do you think about this spectacle? Circus or serious political business?
