DONALD TRUMP wants to play golf with the Duke of York when he visits Scotland.
The US President is said to be keen for a round with Prince Andrew at his Trump Turnberry course in Ayrshire when he arrives in the UK in July.
Mr Trump owns dozens of golf courses and is believed to have spent more than 100 days on the green during his presidency.
He uses the sport to bond with other world leaders. Among his putting partners are Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Prince Andrew took up the game in 1979 and has a single-figure handicap, as well as being the patron of a number of royal golf clubs.
Mr Trump is likely to meet the Queen at Windsor Castle before heading to Scotland for some golf, it has been reported.
Though Mr Trump and Prince Andrew share a passion for golf, their political differences could be a recipe for heated debate on the course.
During the US presidential race in November 2016, Prince Andrew said Brexit combined with Mr Trump being elected risked “tearing everything apart”.
The US Embassy could not be reached for comment on whether Mr Trump and Prince Andrew will be playing golf together.
Mr Trump is also expected to visit the croft house on the Isle of Lewis where his mother Mary Anne MacLeod grew up.
She was raised in a modest two-storey house in Tong outside Stornoway.
The daughter of a fisherman, she met Mr Trump’s father Fred, a carpenter who became a millionaire developer, while visiting New York in the 1930s.
After a romance conducted by letter she returned to marry him.
