Donald Trump is heading to Scotland to inaugurate the second golf course in Aberdeen. The former US president announced his visit to the UK on his social media network Truth Social Sunday.

Donald Trump owns a golf course in the country and will be cutting the ribbon on the second course. He will shortly visit the United Kingdom, albeit no date has been set. His most recent visit was in 2018.

Announcing the news, Trump wrote on his social media platform:

"Will be leaving for Scotland & Ireland soon in order to see and inspect my great properties there. The Golf Courses and Hotels are among the Greatest in the World - Turnberry and Aberdeen, in Scotland, and Doonbeg, in Ireland. Will be meeting with many wonderful friends, and cutting a ribbon for a new and SPECTACULAR Second Course in Aberdeen."

He added:

"Very exciting despite the fact that it is 'MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN' that is on my mind, in fact, America will be GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE!!!"

It is vital to know that Donald Trump is running for president in 2025, hoping to unseat Joe Biden. However, the situation has been complicated by Trump's legal troubles. Despite not being found guilty, Trump became the only former American president to face criminal charges.
