Donald Trump celebrates his family roots on visit to Scotland
Donald Trump proclaimed "it’s great to be home" on Monday after flying into Scotland for the first time since exiting the White House.
The former US president shouted over to the gathered media at Aberdeen Airport that "this was the home of my mother" as he started his first visit to Scotland since 2018.
His mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, was born and brought up on the Hebridean island of Lewis but emigrated to New York, where she married property developer Frederick Trump. He has repeatedly expressed his pride at his Scottish roots.
It is also Mr Trump's first trip to the UK since 2019 when he made a state visit as US president, during which he attended a banquet at Buckingham Palace with the late Elizabeth II, King Charles, the Queen and the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Good afternoon
Dominic Penna here, The Telegraph's Political Reporter, guiding you through Nigel Farage's interview with Donald Trump, the former US President.
Mr Trump is to join Mr Farage, the ex-Brexit Party leader on his GB News programme, with the interviewing airing live from his Turnberry estate.
The presenter said: "We'll talk about the President’s view on the state of Scotland, the Royal Family ahead of the Coronation, his personal legal issues in the United States, his take on British politics, especially on Rishi Sunak's leadership so far, and of course his future political plans."
It will be the fourth time he has interviewed Mr Trump, having previously spoken to him for GB News in December 2021 and after the death of the Queen.
"Naturally I'm delighted that he’s agreed to take time out of his visit for this interview – it’s hugely generous of him and, as ever with Mr Trump, he won’t hold back," Mr Farage added.
