Trade unionists will protest outside Donald Trump’s north-east course on the day he visits the UK.
The Aberdeen Trade Union Congress (ATUC) have announced the plan for Trump International Links at Balmedie, Aberdeenshire for Saturday July 14.
It is still unknown whether President Trump will pay a visit to the course.
A statement from ATUC said they would be joined by “a number of local organisations” at the Menie Estate between 11am and 3pm.
They have billed their “Trump’s a Chump” action as part of a “carnival of resistance across the UK, when tens of thousands are expected to demonstrate against Trump’s racist and misogynistic policies”.
Kathleen Kennedy, ATUC President said that she expected thousands to turn out across the UK “to make our voices heard.”
She added, “Since Trump became president we’ve seen a worrying roll back of human rights, most recently in the separation of young children from their parents on the Mexico border.
“This comes on top of the discriminatory travel ban, his reckless announcement on Jerusalem, and harmful policies on refugees, women’s rights and climate change.
“His visit to Britain will be an important opportunity to underline the importance of free speech and the right to protest, freedoms which he seems to have little time for.”
The group is calling for as many people as possible to come along to add their voices to the protest.
Mr Trump’s itinerary for his visit to the UK as US president remains secretive but it appears clear he will be kept well outside London for the bulk of it.
That may enable him to avoid opponents and critics, with huge protests planned for the capital, including a giant “Trump Baby” balloon flying in Parliament Square.
Instead the president will be whisked off for a tour of some of England’s most impressive historic buildings before departing for Scotland for a relaxing weekend, part of which is expected to be spent on the golf course.
He is expected to move between locations by helicopter, rather than taking motorcades.
Nonetheless, America’s ambassador in London has denied the schedule for next week’s trip to the UK was designed to keep the US president away from protesters.
Ambassador Woody Johnson said Mr Trump was simply trying to get as much impact as possible from his 24 hours in England on what he described as a “very important” visit which the president would use to strengthen the trans-Atlantic special relationship.
The visit takes in a lavish black-tie dinner at Blenheim Palace, a working lunch with Theresa May at her country residence Chequers and a meeting with the Queen at Windsor Castle, but only a brief overnight stay in London.
Trump Turnbery a likely destination. His son Eric is also expected to be in attendance.
