First Minister Warns Trump: January Golf Trip To Scotland Is Not Essential Travel

Following Sunday’s Peter Swindon report of military preparations at Prestwick airport consistent with a presidential visit, Scotland’s First Minister has warned such a visit is forbidden under current lockdown rules.

According to the Independent’s Chiara Giordano, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, a Trump trip to his resort during Scotland’s latest month-long lockdown would not be kosher.

But Scotland's first minister stressed it is illegal to travel in or out of the country without a valid reason and said: "Coming to play golf is not what I would consider to be an essential purpose."

Of course, the idea of golf at Turnberry in January isn’t exactly appealing unless you like temperatures in the low 40s with a strong chance of rain.
