No 10 sources have made clear that the tycoon will not have a meeting with David Cameron.

However, if, as is assumed, Mr Trump becomes the Republican nominee at the party convention in July, he would expect to have a meeting not only with the Prime Minister but also Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn should he visit the UK afterwards.

The US entrepreneur bought the Turnberry hotel and golf course for £35m in 2014.

Ahead of the official reopening, the Republican presidential nominee said he was very excited and proud to owe the world class resort.

The Herald:

Mr Trump, whose mother is Scottish, is expected to face a string of protests when he arrives in Scotland over comments he has made including that women should be punished for having abortions and a ban on Muslims entering America.
