US EditionTrump Opens New Golf Course, Meets with Scottish First Minister
ABERDEENSHIRE, SCOTLAND, JUL 28 – Donald Trump opened his second golf course in Aberdeenshire amid protests over environmental and political concerns with around 100 demonstrators reported by officials.
- U.S. President Donald Trump opened his third golf course in Balmedie, Scotland, on Tuesday, ending a five-day trip promoting family properties and holding talks with Scottish leaders.
- The golf course project faced initial opposition from Aberdeenshire Council, which Alex Salmond later overturned, amid environmental concerns from an ecologist about fragile dune systems.
- The new course complements Trump’s 2014 Turnberry purchase and a 2012 Aberdeen-area course, and will host the Nexo Championship backed by crypto firm Nexo, highlighting a link between golf and digital finance.
- Trump and Scottish First Minister John Swinney discussed Scotch whisky tariffs during the visit, as Scotch accounts for 25% of UK food and drink exports and faces a 10% U.S. tariff.
- Scotland is expected to benefit economically through extended golf tourism generating over $400 million annually, though protests and mixed local opinions illustrate ongoing tensions regarding Trump’s presence.
