Trump Promotes Turnberry Golf Resort During Press Conference with Starmer
During a joint press conference with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Donald Trump diverted a question about the Federal Reserve to talk about the $100m refurbishment of his Turnberry golf resort in Scotland. Trump's business interests have drawn criticism, with concerns raised about public funding and potential conflicts of interest.
Donald Trump discussed his golf resort at Turnberry during a joint press conference with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. He praised the craftsmen in Ayrshire and mentioned spending around $100m on refurbishing the hotel. Trump highlighted the beauty of the resort and expressed his desire for the Open championship to return to Turnberry.
Scotland's first minister faced criticism for considering public funding for the Aberdeenshire resort. Starmer praised Turnberry's magnificence but clarified that the decision on the Open championship was not his to make. Concerns were raised about the ethics of hosting the Open at Turnberry due to potential conflicts with the US constitution.
Protests against Trump's visit and his business interests in Aberdeenshire were led by groups questioning the benefits to the local community. The Menie resort, built after a controversial dispute, has faced criticism for unfulfilled promises of job creation and development.
