Hundreds of protesters have gathered in Edinburgh and Erzardin to express their opposition to US President Donald Trump’s visit to Scotland.
Demonstrators shook anti -Trump slogans in protest of his five -day trip to the country, while others brought signs of “free Gaza” and Palestinian flags. Support for the war -torn siege comes after the president said Friday that knowing France of a Palestinian state “does not matter”.
Meanwhile, Mr Trump went to the golf course on the first day of his visit and played a heavy security care in Trump Turnberry in southern Airesh.
Army, Navy and Terrorism Police were all attended by Turnberry to regulate security checks during this period with police snipers ready to work on the scaffolding.
According to Sky News, Mr Trump “UpTown” by Billy Joel mixed “Memories” by Illin Page and “Paul on Contest Water” by Simon & Garfunkel while she mounted her golf gift.
The president flew to Scotland on Friday night and after touching the airport near Parastok, he went to Golf Tochal, which he bought in 2014.
The closure of the roads was carried out by police with limited access to locals and media members. A large number of police and military personnel were searching for the land on Saturday morning.
While the President is expected to spend most of his day in Scotland, Mr Trump will hold meetings with the European Commission President Orsola von Valley Lynn on Sunday and Prime Minister Kier Starmer on Monday.
Mr Trump drew the crowd to Parastook Airport on Friday evening because the Air Force landed before his four -day visit. The Scottish is due to gather nationwide to protest him on the weekend.
The first minister of John Swinni was also due to meet with the president while in Scotland, urging people to “protest peacefully and in law.”
Saturday is the first major test for the Scottish police on the president’s visit, with a demonstration near the US Consulate by the Stop Trump Coalition. They will also warn for any demonstration near the President’s golf course. Access to the US Consulate in ReGent Terrace, Edinburgh, was blocked at 7am before the protest, which began at noon and saw hundreds of people gathered.
The force has called on others throughout the UK to report the number of agents with both senior officers and claim to be ranked and claiming that its impact on police across the country will probably affect the visit.
Following police concerns that the trip “is undoubtedly expanding police sources”, about 1,500 police officers in Britain and Wales have been reused because of Mr Trump’s private visit.
“The private visit of President Donald Trump to Scotland at the end of July needs Scottish police services to carry out and carry out important operations throughout the country,” said Rob Hey’s head of the Scottish Police Supervisory Association (ASS).
“This will undoubtedly increase all our resources from local police to specialized and support functions such as contact, steering and control.”
