An MSP has demanded Donald Trump stump up to cover the costs of policing the President's recent visit to Scotland. ‌

The Republican leader jetted into Prestwick airport on July 25 before spending the weekend at his Turnberry Hotel and golf resort, where he held a rambling 60-minute press conference with Keir Starmer. ‌

Trump then flew to Aberdeenshire where he dined with John Swinney and later formally opened a second golf course at his Menie Estate. ‌

An estimated 5,000 Police Scotland officers - working 12 hour shifts - were involved in policing the duration of the President's four day visit, which was classed as a "private" trip. The New Yorker will return to the UK again in September for a formal state visit, where he will be an official guest of the King.
