Donald Trump threatens to cancel £700m investment in Scotland

Donald Trump has reacted to the announcement that MPs will debate on banning him from entering the UK by threatening to pull the plug on what his company says are plans to invest more than £700m in Scotland.
MPs are due to address calls for the travel sanctions on 18 January in the House of Commons after more than half a million people signed a petition triggering the debate.
The US Republican presidential candidate, who became the focus of the petition after his call for Muslims to be banned from entering the US, reacted on Wednesday by saying his organisation has plans to invest more than £200m in the development of his resort in South Ayrshire and invest £500m into a golf course in Aberdeen.
“Any action to restrict travel would force The Trump Organisation to immediately end these and all future investments we are currently contemplating in the United Kingdom,” his organisation said in a statement.

I was disappointed to find it was removed from the URL I had bookmarked. I truly appreciate this... I plan to introduce it to numerous individuals.
