Scotland’s First Minister John Swinney says he has no plans to meet US President Donald Trump during a planned trip to the United States for Scotland’s World Cup campaign. Swinney is travelling later this month as Scotland return to the World Cup for the first time in 28 years. Both outlets report that Swinney’s comments address speculation about a possible meeting with Trump during the visit. The reports do not describe any confirmed agenda for interactions with US political figures beyond Swinney’s World Cup-related travel plans. Scotland’s participation in the tournament marks a significant milestone, and the trip is framed by the sources as part of the lead-up to the team’s first appearance in nearly three decades. The articles present Swinney’s statement as a clarification that he is not seeking or expecting a meeting with Trump during the United States visit.
