President Donald Trump recently concluded a five-day visit to Scotland, where he officially opened a new 18-hole golf course at his Trump International property near Aberdeen. The event was attended by former soccer stars, golf professionals, and prominent business leaders, marking the end of a trip that evolved from a personal stay into a diplomatic mission. Trump engaged in international diplomacy, securing a trade deal with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Topics included the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where he challenged Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s denial of starvation, and efforts to de-escalate tensions in Ukraine and a conflict between Thailand and Cambodia.
Accompanied by his sons and grandchildren, Trump praised the course’s beauty before a ceremonial tee-off. He emphasized his global diplomatic efforts, claiming his administration had prevented multiple wars. Notable attendees included athletes like Andriy Shevchenko and British business and political leaders such as Scottish First Minister John Swinney. Trump is receiving nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize, a fact echoed by White House officials.
