Watch: Trump cuts ribbon to open new golf course
Trump only has a few engagements on his final day in Scotland.
It kicks off at 10:00 BST, as he cuts the ribbon at his new Balmedie golf course.
Then, he will meet Scottish First Minister John Swinney and play a round of golf before he begins his return to the US.
He is set to jet off on Air Force One from RAF Lossiemouth later in the afternoon, heading to Washington DC.
Trump is up and posting on his Truth Social platform this morning, reiterating his fondness of North Sea oil, calling it a "treasure chest for the United Kingdom".
"The taxes are so high, however, that it makes no sense. They have essentially told drillers and oil companies that, “we don’t want you.” Incentivize the drillers, FAST," he writes.
He continues: "A VAST FORTUNE TO BE MADE for the UK, and far lower energy costs for the people!"
Yesterday when speaking to journalists, Trump blasted wind farms, calling it "the most expensive form of energy". He said the UK should instead be getting oil and gas from the North Sea.
Aberdeen is the oil capital of Europe, but oil is running out. Trump has repeatedly said the UK should bring back oil.

Speaking to the press afterwards, Trump announced he was giving Russia 10-12 days to agree to a ceasefire over Ukraine, reducing it from 50 days. If they do not, he may impose sanctions or secondary tariffs, he said.
Both leaders agreed that they needed to find peace in the Middle East urgently, with Trump citing "real starvation" in Gaza.
Trump avoided giving his thoughts on Scottish independence, but did speak of his love for the country. He then hit out at Aberdeen's "ugly windmills", slamming wind turbines as a form of energy.
Starmer praised the relationship between the UK and US, telling reporters the relationship is a "close, historic relationship".
They then travelled together in Air Force One, then the presidential helicopter, arriving at Balmedie for dinner with Scotland's first minister.

Trump is due to open his latest 18-hole golf course on his Balmedie Estate in just under an hour.
It's already busy, with people strolling along between white picket fences on mown grass.
American flags hang in between Saltires, with temporary tiered seating erected overlooking the golf course.
It features the "world’s largest natural bunker", according to the Trump International Scotland website.
The course spans the sand dunes of Aberdeenshire's Menie. The dunes lost their special status as a nationally-important protected environment in 2020 after construction of Trump's other course at the site.

Scotland’s First Minister John Swinney spent more than an hour in conversation with Donald Trump over dinner last night, the BBC has been told.
The pair were seated next to each other for the meal at the US president’s Aberdeenshire golf resort and “discussed at length critical issues such as whisky”, according to a senior Scottish government source.
Swinney is seeking an exemption for Scotch from a 10% tariff imposed on UK exports to the US.
The spirit makes up a quarter of all UK food and drink exports, according to the Scotch Whisky Association.
The trade body says around a fifth of all Scotch whisky is exported to the US - a market worth £971m ($1.3bn) in 2024 - and the tariffs are currently costing the industry £4m ($5.3m) a week.
The Scottish government source said there was a “window of opportunity” between now and Trump returning to the UK for a state visit in September to make progress on reducing the tariff.
It is understood that a starter of langoustine and a main course of beef was served during the meal.

Image source, ReutersGood morning. Today marks the final day of US President Donald Trump's five-day trip to Scotland.
He's waking up in a different location today, at his golf resort in Balmedie, Aberdeenshire.
The president travelled there yesterday, accompanied by UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, who had flown to Ayrshire to meet Trump at his Turnberry golf resort earlier in the day.
The pair hosted bilateral talks, on topics including trade and the wars in Ukraine and Gaza.
Before Trump boards Air Force One this afternoon to fly back to the US, he will begin his day by opening a new 18-hole golf course at Trump International Golf Links.
He will also be making his final political appointment of the trip when he meets Scotland's First Minister John Swinney. The pair had dinner last night, with today's focus on talks.
We'll bring you the action right here, stay with us.

Image source, Getty ImagesThis notionally ‘private’ trip for President Trump, is actually very public.
The president’s private interests, talked up in public office, even down to the quality of the plywood at Donald Trump’s Turnberry golf course. And all this on his first trip to the UK since his re-election, but just weeks before he makes an unprecedented second state visit here in September.
Oh yes, and diplomacy on not one but two golf courses.
For Keir Starmer, invaluable face time with President Trump, even sharing a lift on Air Force One; burnishing a relationship as solid as it is improbable. The jeopardy, riding shotgun with a free-wheeling president at ease shooting the breeze with reporters seemingly forever.
Starmer, interjecting with care, to defend the mayor of London, heavily criticised by the president, to explain his immigration policy, and his outlook on Gaza, for instance.
An earlier rolling encounter with reporters took No 10 by surprise. The prime minister’s wife, standing next to the president, perfecting her poker face as the questions - and answers - flowed and flowed.
As ever, the key question is what can this relationship deliver for the UK: in the Middle East, Ukraine, and on trade.
Each, frankly, a work in progress, but there’s little doubting the prime minister has the president’s ear.

Donald Trump has just arrived in Aberdeenshire for his final stop of the day.
We're soon going to be closing our live coverage, but in case you missed it, here's a recap of the president's eventful day in Scotland:

Image source, EPAMeanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic, we're starting to get some reaction from US lawmakers to President Trump's announcement that the deadline for Russia to come to a peace deal in Ukraine is going to be "10 or 12" days.
Among them is Democratic New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen, the ranking member on the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
In a statement, Shaheen says that "too many innocent lives are at stake for President Trump to let Putin continue playing him for time".
"This shorter deadline is a positive step, but long overdue," Shaheen adds. "The President needs to match his words with real action and not let Putin cross yet another red line."
Additionally, Shaheen encourages her fellow lawmakers to "press forward" on bipartisan legislation to impose "punishing sanctions on the Kremlin and ensure Ukraine has the support it needs to finally bring Putin to the negotiating table".

Arthur Osman, 7, and his mum Tara Beanie await the PM and Trump at Balmedie in the north-east of Scotland
Attention now switches to the north-east of Scotland where some protesters have been awaiting the arrival of Donald Trump.
In nearby Balmedie, a crowd has gathered with signs protesting Trump - the PA news agency estimates that around 100 people have attended.
There has been anger in this area for years about Trump's golf course, but the protesters today spoke about Gaza, women's rights, and the environment among other issues.
The American president is due to meet Scotland's First Minister John Swinney, as the two leaders are also expected to join Keir Starmer for dinner on Monday evening.
Image source, PA MediaWe can now bring you details of a statement issued on behalf of Sadiq Khan, following Trump saying he "wasn't a fan" of the London mayor during a press briefing earlier.
A spokesperson for the mayor of London said: "Sadiq is delighted that President Trump wants to come to the greatest city in the world.
"He’d see how our diversity makes us stronger not weaker; richer, not poorer.
"Perhaps these are the reasons why a record number of Americans have applied for British citizenship under his Presidency."

After the prime minister met Donald Trump in Scotland today, a Downing Street spokesperson said the two leaders discussed "the appalling scenes in Gaza and agreed that urgent action was needed to bring an end to the suffering, which has reached new depths".
The spokesperson added: "Humanitarian aid had to be allowed in at scale and pace. They committed to work together to bring an end to the misery and starvation and continue to press for the immediate release of the remaining hostages, who have been held so cruelly for so long.
"They reiterated their calls for an immediate ceasefire to pave the way for peace in the region and the Prime Minister welcomed the President’s efforts to secure this, and shared the plans he is working on with other European leaders to bring about a lasting peace.
On Ukraine, the spokesperson said the two leaders agreed “that they must maintain momentum to bring about an end to the war with Russia, including by putting economic pressure on Putin to come to the table without further delay".
And on the recently reached EU-US deal, they said “the leaders remarked on how beneficial the deal is for working people in the UK and the US and agreed to continue to work together to build further on their close and strong economic relationship".

BBC Newsbeat has been in central Aberdeen today, talking to young people about what they make of Donald Trump’s visit to Scotland.
Beth MacDonald, 21, is a student at Aberdeen University and says that while she can understand why it’s happening, “I just don’t like it".
"I don’t want him here and I don’t know many people who want him here," she adds.
We walk down the road and meet Andreas Bermudez, who moved to the area a year and a half ago to work in the local oil and gas industry.
While he doesn’t agree with the most of things Trump stands for, he believes the visit to Scotland is valid as long as it’s "for the good of the UK", adding "It could lead to a new door opening".
"Whatever he’s doing here, I just hope it’s for the best of everybody here," he says.
We also come across Miko Zdunski, 20, who moved to Aberdeen from Poland nine years ago and says he’s not keen on politics.
"A lot of people do seem to really not like him coming here even though he’s putting a lot of money into businesses here," he says.
"He is a very good businessman.
"He does bring a lot of relations into the place and does help out with different situations but maybe some things are not there to be taken literally from him."

Just a short while ago, the White House formally released details on the US-EU trade deal that was announced yesterday.
As part of the deal - which the White House describes as a "generational modernisation" of the transatlantic alliance - the EU will purchase $750bn (£560bn) in US energy, as well as invest $600bn in the US by 2028.
Additionally, the White House says the EU will work with the US to "eliminate tariffs in various sectors" and "provide meaningful quotas" for other products, as well as address US concerns about "red tape" that American exporters face in Europe.
On the digital front - long a concern for the Trump White House - the official fact sheet says that both sides "intend to address unjustified" trade barriers, such as the EU not adopting network usage fees. Both sides will also maintain zero customs duties on electronic transmissions.
The White House is clearly pointing to the deal as a significant victory - but it is already facing some criticism, even as some European countries also hailed the breakthrough.
Just this morning, we saw the French government criticise the deal as a "dark day" in which the EU resolved "to submit" - a reference to the 15% tariffs still put on European imports to the US.
Domestically, some economists have also suggested that the tariffs mean it's still profitable for US companies to import from abroad instead of producing domestically - meaning that those costs could be borne by US firms and consumers.
Image source, ReutersTrump and Starmer are on Air Force One to fly from Prestwick to Lossiemouth.
As a reminder of the schedule, the US president will then travel to his Menie Estate - where he will visit his new golf course.
