Greens Vow to Examine Donald Trump’s Wealth
The party wants an unexplained wealth order to trace how Trump bought two golf facilities, while Zack Polanski also urges sanctions.
- On Saturday, the Scottish Greens pledged to launch an inquiry into the funding of Trump International Scotland golf courses if they win next week's election, scrutinizing how Donald Trump acquired facilities in South Ayrshire and Aberdeenshire.
- The party previously advocated for an Unexplained Wealth Order to investigate the financing of these properties, arguing the Scottish Government has shielded Trump from scrutiny and failed to force transparency regarding his wealth.
- Patrick Harvie, the party's external affairs spokesman, stated that Trump "should never have been allowed to treat Scotland as his personal playground" and described him as a "convicted fraudster, a racist and a war criminal."
- Following a suggestion from Zack Polanski, leader of the Green Party in England and Wales, the party proposed using international sanctions against Trump's golf courses, with Polanski calling the president "unhinged" in Glasgow.
- Harvie also criticized the Scottish Government for "fawning over" Trump, claiming officials ignored transparency calls and prioritized his status over enforcing legal accountability for his assets in Scotland.
