Ex U.S. president Donald Trump's recent visit to Scotland cost taxpayers £60,000
Ex U.S president Donald Trump's recent visit to Scotland cost taxpayers £60,000 - with the public paying for police officers to stand guard while he played golf.
Even though Trump is no longer head of state, his visit with family and entourage warranted a huge cost to the taxpayer which will not be reclaimed. Overtime payments by Police Scotland totaled around an estimated £57,493 over and above normal day-to-day budgets - while cops watched him tee off, patrolled the grounds of his properties or guarded entrances.
Cops also incurred subsistence costs of £2,012 for 'Operation Booknote', according to a Freedom of Information request. In 2018, Police Scotland's bill for covering Trump's visit to Turnberry was £3.2million - around half of which was accounted for by overtime payments.
