EDINBURGH 14 Jul (ANA) - Donald Trump faces further protests as he rounds off his UK visit by golfing in Scotland, having wreaked diplomatic havoc south of the border.

 

Thousands of demonstrators are expected to take to the streets in Edinburgh for a march against the president, who flew to Glasgow on Friday before spending the night at his Turnberry resort in Ayrshire.

 

It will be the third day of protests in Britain since the American leader arrived for a working trip which included trade talks with Theresa May and a tea with the Queen.

 

His chaotic visit has been dominated by an explosive interview in which he told The Sun the prime minister ignored his advice on Brexit and warned her strategy risked killing off chances of a US-UK trade deal.

 

It has also been marked by demonstrations across the country, including a huge march in London which organisers said had been attended by more than 100,000 people.

 

Demonstrators will rally at the Trump International Golf Links in Balmedie, Aberdeenshire, on Saturday, and there are also likely to be further protests at Turnberry, where the president is expected to play golf before leaving the UK for Russia on Sunday.

 

Greenpeace flew a paraglider with a banner message reading “Trump Well Below Par” above the resort on Friday evening as activists protested over the president’s environmental record.  

 

Ben Stewart, a spokesman for the campaign group, said: “Theresa May should not have dignified Trump with a visit to the UK. The vast majority of British people are appalled by his words and deeds. He is, simply, the worst president ever.”

 

Pro-Trump supporters will also hold a march in central London on Saturday, with a huge police operation set to to be mounted amid fears demonstrators could merge with another rally held with supporters of jailed far-right figurehead Tommy Robinson.

 

Specially trained officers will patrol the processions after a previous demonstration in support of the EDL founder saw metal barriers and bottles being thrown at police.(ANA)
