Live: Trump opens Aberdeen golf course – with ribbon-cutting ceremony
Donald Trump’s four-day visit to Scotland will draw to a close later after a meeting with First Minister John Swinney.
The two leaders expected to discuss whisky tariffs and the middle east in a one-to-one. This before the president opens a new course at his Aberdeenshire golf resort.
Swinney is seeking an exemption for Scotch from a 10 per cent tax, known as a tariff, imposed on UK exports to the US.
The spirit makes up a quarter of all UK food and drink exports according to the Scotch Whisky Association.
In a visit dominated by trade discussions with the European Union, Trump has already played golf at his Turnberry resort, where he welcomed Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer on Monday.
The president will return to the UK in September for a state visit, when he will stay with the King at Windsor Castle.
