Description
President Donald Trump arrived in Scotland Friday evening for part of a five-day trip to the country.
Trump will be spending the weekend at one of his golf properties near Turnberry. Early next week, he will be visiting another near Abderdeen, where his family has one golf course and is getting ready to open a second course soon.
Trump plans to meet with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to talk trade, as he continues to threaten U.S. trade partners with steep tariffs.
Trump took questions on the tarmac shortly after landing and told reporters he has two messages for Europe: Stop building windmills and curb immigration.
“This immigration is killing Europe,” Trump said. “And the other thing, stop the windmills.”
He said wind power generation is “killing the beauty of your country.”
Trump has spent years railing against windmills, and once unsuccessfully sued, claiming a nearby windfarm marred players’ view from one of his golf course in Scotland.
He bragged about cracking down on the U.S.-Mexico border and suggested that immigrants were reshaping Europe.
“On immigration, you better get your act together,” Trump said. “You’re not going to have Europe anymore.”
