First Minister John Swinney has met US President Donald Trump’s son Eric at Bute House in Edinburgh. Eric Trump is a senior executive in his father’s business, the Trump Organization, which owns golf resorts in Ayrshire and Aberdeenshire. The meeting took place over tea and biscuits, and focused on Trump’s golf resorts. It comes after the First Minister said he did not think it would be appropriate for Donald Trump to be offered a second state visit to the UK.
Eric Trump flew into Edinburgh Airport earlier on Thursday. Trump Turnberry, the resort in Ayrshire, was vandalised by a pro-Palestinian group over the weekend. Red paint was daubed on one of the buildings, and the words “Gaza is not for sale” were sprayed across one green and another green appeared to have been dug up.
Paint was daubed on one of the Turnberry resort’s buildings. The words “Gaza is not for sale” were sprayed across one green and another green appeared to have been dug up. Red paint is daubed across a white building with red tiled roof. It is across the white stonework and windows. The main Turnberry hotel can be seen in the background.
The Scottish Greens, who previously said Trump is not welcome in Scotland, said the decision to meet Eric Trump was “totally inappropriate” and sent a “terrible message”. Co-leader Lorna Slater added: “When it comes to the Trumps, the line between business and politics has always been blurred.”
