Donald Trump’s son Eric has hit out at plans for MSPs to debate whether his father’s business interests in Scotland should be investigated, saying such discussions could deter overseas investors.
MSPs will vote on a motion calling for an investigation into the former US president’s business interests during a debate led by the Scottish Greens on Wednesday.
The party wants to see the Trump Organisation’s golf courses investigated via an unexplained wealth order, though the Scottish Government says only the Lord Advocate can decide if such an order can be made.
Scottish Greens co-leader Patrick Harvie said there are “serious concerns” about how the former US president financed the cash purchases of his Scottish golf courses.
