Donald Trump, golf, and Nexo

What do golf and Donald Trump with Nexo have to do with each other?

Apparently nothing, but evidently there is a connection and it also concerns Scotland

Trump, golf, and Scotland

It is known that Donald Trump is a great enthusiast of golf. In fact, there are even those who claim that he spends more time playing golf than at the White House

It is also well known that it has historical ties with Scotland

First of all, his mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, was Scottish, born in a small village on the Isle of Lewis

Furthermore, over the decades Trump has invested heavily in luxury golf courses in Scotland, including the Trump International Golf Links Scotland in Balmedie (Aberdeenshire), and the Trump Turnberry in Ayrshire

Recently, he even inaugurated a golf course, also in Scotland, which is named after his mother, the “MacLeod Course”.

Trump regularly visits Scotland, often combining private or business commitments with political meetings

Right now, he is in Scotland to meet with the British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the Scottish leader John Swinney, and to discuss trade agreements and tariffs between the United States, United Kingdom, and European Union.

To tell the truth, many Scots do not really like Trump’s visits, also due to old controversies related to the construction of his golf courses in environmentally sensitive areas.

However, Trump’s ties remain strong, both with Scotland and with golf

“html The recent visit “

The recent visit of Trump to Scotland started on July 25 and ended yesterday.

It was a very important visit because in Scotland Trump also met the president of the European Commission, Ursula Von der Leyen, with whom he made important trade agreements for the European Union (the famous 15% tariffs)

Although Great Britain, of which Scotland is a part, has not been part of the European Union for some years, Von der Leyen took advantage of the proximity to continental Europe to meet Trump

Among other things done by Trump during this visit, there is also the inauguration of a new golf course.

Well, this newly inaugurated field will host the next Nexo Championship from August 7 to 10

In fact, at the inauguration ceremony with Trump, the co-founders of Nexo, Antoni Trenchev and Kosta Kantchev, were also present, along with the Scottish First Minister John Swinney and important leaders from the world of politics, economy, and international sports.

Furthermore, the co-founders of Nexo then had lunch with Trump, and discussed global innovation, the future of sports, and the growing role of digital finance in the economy.

Trenchev then stated:

“President Trump has officially inaugurated the new Trump International Golf Links in Scotland, which will host the Nexo Championship from August 7 to 10. Sharing lunch with the President after a game of golf, discussing politics and our common vision for cryptocurrencies in the United States was a true honor. We are sincerely grateful for everything he does, for everyone, everywhere”.

Nexo and Trump

In reality, the ties of the Trump family with Nexo had already begun a few months ago

In fact, in April of this year, the son of Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., visited Bulgaria as a guest of Nexo. During that visit, the company announced its return to the US market.

Nexo is a company founded in Bulgaria, but now with offices in various countries around the world, and with the change in attitude of US policy towards the crypto sector, it has decided to re-enter the US market.
