- Donald Trump’s Scottish golf resorts, Turnberry and Trump International, have long struggled with profitability and now carry more than $239 million in loans owed solely to the Trump Organization and other Trump enterprises. But both properties have maintained their prestige, despite some financial turbulence, and are home to extensive development projects.
When President Donald Trump went to Scotland in July, he did so not only as commander-in-chief but as the controversial proprietor of some of Britain’s most scrutinized golf resorts. His three-day stop at Trump Turnberry, a hotel and golf resort that is one of the president’s two properties in the country, drew attention when U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer joined him to discuss a trade deal between the nations and the ongoing wars in Ukraine and Gaza. He was followed by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who announced the framework of a trade deal with the E.U. from the luxurious property.
