Protesters hold posters of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his son, Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, during a protest marking al-Quds Day (Jerusalem Day), after Friday prayers at Fatih Mosque in Istanbul. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has confirmed that Iran’s newly appointed Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei , was seriously wounded and likely disfigured during the opening phase of U.S. and Israeli military strikes.

From Tees to Tensions: Trump Opens Scottish Golf Course Before Pivoting to Middle East Diplomacy

 

                                            President Donald Trump tees off during the opening ceremony for the Trump                                                                     International Golf Links golf course

President Donald Trump capped off a five-day visit to Scotland by inaugurating a new 18-hole golf course at Trump International Golf Links near Aberdeen. Flanked by his sons Eric and Donald Jr., Trump cut the ceremonial ribbon and played the first round on the course, which was named in honor of his late mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, a native of Scotland.

The course, billed as part of the “Greatest 36 Holes in Golf,” was designed by Eric Trump and will officially open to the public on August 13. The president praised the development as “an unbelievable masterpiece,” calling it a “passion project” for his family.

But the trip wasn’t all about golf. Trump used the occasion to meet with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at his Turnberry property, where the two discussed pressing global issues including the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and a new U.S.-EU trade framework. Trump expressed concern over starvation in Gaza, contradicting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s claims, and pledged to help establish food centers in the region.

As he teed off, Trump remarked, “We’ll play it very quickly and then I go back to D.C. and we put out fires all over the world,” referencing ceasefires he helped broker and ongoing diplomatic efforts.

With golf clubs in hand and global crises on his mind, Trump’s Scottish swing underscored his dual role as both brand promoter and statesman.
