Police preparing for 'Trump visit to UK' as protesters vow an ‘even bigger’ response than last time he came

The US president is unlikely to get a warm welcome

Donald Trump may well be a popular man in some parts of America, but other countries are less keen on the US president, and that looks set to be reflected in the protests planned when the 79-year-old next comes to the UK.

The Republican leader hasn't been short of controversies since returning to the Oval Office in February of this year, kickstarting a global trade war with his 'Liberation Day' tariffs, while also cracking down on what he considers to be illegal immigrants living in the US.

Trump has also been busy speaking to plenty of world leaders, memorably complimenting the president of the English-speaking Liberia on his English earlier this week, while also showing South African president Cyril Ramaphosa a video of an alleged genocide in the country.

So, it is easy to see why some people across the world aren't the president's biggest fans, and when he heads to his golf club in Aberdeen later this year, it is likely that he is going to face some serious backlash.

The 79-year-old is expected to visit Scotland due to the golf club opening a second course, which is exactly what you'd hope one of the world's most powerful men would be doing amid the ongoing threat of World War Three - and police have suggested that they expect a significant protesting presence.

More than 250,000 protestors took to the streets when he last came to build on the US and UK's special relationship, but campaigners have now vowed an 'even bigger' response in 2025.

Zoe Gardner, a spokesperson for the Stop Trump Coalition, told The Guardian: “This time it will be even bigger, uniting campaigners across a huge range of issues. We are confident that the disgust at Donald Trump is just as strong across the country.

"We want it to be a defiant but joyful celebration of all the things that Trump hates, such as the rights of LGBTQ people, the rights of women, the rights of migrants and refugees, union power and workers."

If you can think back to a time before the pandemic when Trump was two years into his first tenure as president, you may well remember a giant baby blimp depicting him taking off outside parliament, and Miss Gardner has said we might see something even 'bigger and better'.

Assistant Chief Constable of Police Scotland Emma Bond said: "Planning is under way for a potential visit to Scotland later this month by the President of the United States."
