DOWNING Street has confirmed that Donald Trump will be visiting the UK in the second half of 2018 - and the trip could include Scotland.
A spokesman confirmed the news following a meeting between the US President and Theresa May at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
He said: “The PM and President concluded by asking officials to work together on finalising the details of a visit by the President to the UK later this year.”
It has not yet been confirmed whether it will be a working or state visit, however in the event of a state visit it is possible that Trump would spend time in Scotland at Balmoral Castle.
Groups online have already began preparing for the visit from America's 45th President, stating they intend to hold the biggest demonstration in Britain's history.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
