US President Donald Trump is spending four days in Scotland on a private visit.<\/p>\n

He played two rounds of golf on Saturday and Sunday at his luxury Turnberry resort prior to meeting EU Commission president Ursula von der Leyen for trade talks.<\/p>\n

He met Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and First Minister John Swinney, and opened a second 18-hole golf course at his Menie estate in Aberdeenshire.<\/p>\n

A major security operation has been ramped up since Trump arrived on Air Force One, with protests in Aberdeen and Edinburgh passing without incident over the weekend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
