Former US President Donald Trump has delivered a blistering critique of Scotland's former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, describing her tenure as "terrible" in a series of explosive remarks.
Trump, who owns several golf courses in Scotland, made the comments during a recent interview, where he didn't hold back in his assessment of Sturgeon's leadership. "She was a terrible First Minister," Trump stated, adding that her policies had been detrimental to Scotland.
Trump's Scottish Connections
The property tycoon-turned-politician has long-standing ties to Scotland, with luxury golf resorts in Aberdeenshire and Ayrshire. His criticism comes despite previous cordial relations with Sturgeon during her time in office.
Political Fallout
Political analysts suggest Trump's comments could reignite debates about Scottish independence, a cause Sturgeon championed during her time as SNP leader. The remarks have already sparked strong reactions from both supporters and critics of the former First Minister.
Sturgeon, who stepped down in 2023 after eight years as First Minister, has yet to respond to Trump's latest broadside. Her successor, Humza Yousaf, may now face renewed scrutiny over Scotland's constitutional future.
