Scot Lib Dems comment on confirmation of Trump visit dates

Commenting on confirmation of dates for Donald Trump's visit to the UK on 25th to 29th July, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP said:

“Donald Trump’s Presidency has been deeply worrying for millions of people in the UK and around the world.

“From trade wars to praising Putin, there are plenty of warning signs that he is not looking out for anyone’s interest but his own.

“While I don’t expect he will get a warm reception from the Scottish public, it’s clear that John Swinney should use this opportunity to try to tackle the threat that Trump’s tariffs pose to Scottish businesses.

“He should also make quite clear commitments that the we want to see the entire Western world stand with Ukraine and ensure that their brave fighting men and women are given the tools they need to fend off Vladimir Putin’s invasion.”
