Trump leaves UK with ‘low expectations’ for Putin summit

Donald Trump says he has "low expectations" for his meeting with Vladimir Putin as he leaves the UK to meet the Russian president in Finland.

The US president brought the curtain down on his UK trip with another round of golf at his Turnberry resort on Sunday and is heading for Helsinki with wife Melania aboard Air Force One.

In an interview with CBS News, Mr Trump said he is entering the meeting with "low expectations", adding: "I'm not going with high expectations".

He has said he expects talks with Mr Putin to produce "nothing bad" and "maybe some good", but has been urged to raise the death of a woman who was exposed to novichok in Amesbury and criminal charges being brought against a dozen Russians accused of hacking Democratic Party emails during the 2016 US presidential election.

Mr Trump has said he considers his Russian counterpart a "competitor", but hopes to develop a good relationship.

The Trumps are departing Glasgow Prestwick Airport hours after police charged a man over a stunt in which a paragliding protester flew above the president as he entered Turberry Hotel on Friday night.

Greenpeace organised the powered parachute, which appeared at around 9.45pm, and a banner reading "Trump Well Below Par" was unfurled on the roof.

Although Greenpeace insisted it had informed police of the plans in advance, the protester was said to have breached a no-fly zone and committed a criminal offence.

Police Scotland said in a statement: "A 55-year-old man has been arrested and has now been charged in connection with an incident when a powered parachute was flown in the vicinity of the Turnberry Hotel around 9.45pm on Friday 13 July 2018."

The man will appear at Ayr Sheriff Court on Monday.

More protests followed when Mr Trump took to the course on Saturday, with those keen to denounce the president taking to a nearby beach and hills overlooking the greens to chant: "No Trump, no KKK, no racist USA."

Mr Trump appeared non-fussed as he drove his buggy from hole to hole sporting a USA baseball cap, as other demonstrations took place in Glasgow and outside the Scottish parliament building in Edinburgh.

The giant baby blimp depicting Mr Trump as a snarling, orange, nappy-wearing infant also made an appearance in Edinburgh, having debuted in London after being granted approval to fly by mayor Sadiq Khan.

Appearing on the BBC's Andrew Marr Show on Sunday, Mr Khan – who has been embroiled in several spats with the president since the two were elected – defended his decision.

He said it was "not my job as mayor to censor the views of Londoners" and pointed out how the "extreme far-right" and pro-Trump supporters were also allowed to protest in the capital on Saturday.

When asked if the president had repeatedly criticised him because he was Muslim, Mr Khan said it was not for him to answer and added that he did not think Mr Trump was racist.

But – citing his promotion of far-right group Britain First and his language about immigrants – he said: "You understand why people draw the conclusion he's racist."

Mr Trump's former chief strategist Steve Bannon told LBC that suggestions of racism from critics was a sign that "you know you are winning".

He said the "historic lows" of black and Hispanic unemployment in the US was evidence that Mr Trump was an "anti-racist, citing his immigration and "economic nationalism" policies.

Before the protests in Scotland, Mr Trump had marked his arrival on Twitter, posting: "I have arrived in Scotland and will be at Trump Turnberry for two days of meetings, calls and hopefully, some golf, my primary form of exercise!"

He leaves the UK having left Theresa May with the job of clearing up a number of controversial comments he made during his visit, including his advice for how to negotiate Brexit.

More from Donald Trump

The prime minister has revealed that Mr Trump told her to "sue the EU", having already faced suggestions from him that her strategy would "kill" hopes of a US-UK trade deal.

Although Mr Trump later backtracked on those claims following talks with Mrs May on Friday, the US president confirmed Mrs May had ignored his "suggestion" on how to deal with Brexit negotiations as "maybe too brutal".
