Donald Trump to visit Scotland next week as former president faces charges in the US

DONALD J Trump is coming to Scotland next week to visit his Ayrshire golf course.

The former president is expected to spend time at his Turnberry course, according to reports from PA News.

The 76-year-old business tycoon and former U.S leader will also stop off in Ireland, weeks after his political rival and sitting President Joe Biden visited the country.

He is expected to stay at his Trump International Hotel & Golf Links near Doonbeg in Co Clare.

The visit comes as Trump faces court action amid rumours he is running for high office again in 2024.

Trump previously visited Scotland in July 2018 while in office.

He spent two days at his Turnberry resort with wife Melania as part of a four-day trip to the UK, during which he met then-prime minister Theresa May and the Queen.

He faced widespread protests and was heckled as he played golf at Turnberry with his son Eric.

During his campaign for the White House in 2016, he visited Scotland the day after the EU referendum and praised the UK for voting to leave.

Donald Trump faces charges in America for alleged cover-ups

Trump has been accused of different instances of making hush-money payments to cover up affairs.

All 34 charges relate to $130,000 paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels to stop her from talking about her allegation that she has an affair with Trump.

He has pleaded not guilty to charges of falsifying business records to hide damaging information ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
