Donald Trump is preparing to visit the UK later this month, Scottish police have said, as part of what is thought to be a trip to visit a new golf course.
Security and policing insiders told Sky News that as many as 5,000 police officers could be required to work 12-hour shifts as part of the operation.
It comes after the US president's son, Eric Trump, previously said his father would attend the opening of a new golf course in Aberdeenshire later during the summer.
