Keir Starmer has been visiting Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Thursday.
Scotland featured in their discussions. Firstly because Starmer handed Trump a letter from King Charles inviting him to Balmoral to discuss a second State visit to the UK.
Secondly because when discussing trade tariffs with the EU that Trump says he is considering he noted that the UK might be a bit different:
I can say that, we’re here for a different reason – we’re talking about a very different place. This is some place that I have investments there. I own Turnberry, I own Aberdeen, and I own a great place called Doonbeg in Ireland. So, I have a great warm spot for your country.

As when Trump visited the UK in 2018 and 2019 the correct response is: protest and survive
