Trump leaves for Scotland to inaugurate his family business’s new golf course in Aberdeenshire

Politics

President Donald Trump will travel to Scotland on Friday as his family's business prepares for the Aug. 13 opening of a new golf course in Aberdeenshire billed as "the greatest 36 holes in golf."

While there, Trump will talk trade with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, a meeting he's said will take place at "probably one of my properties."

Using this week's 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.
