Swinney's actions embarrass Scotland during US political involvement

Scottish politician John Swinney recently met with Eric Trump, focusing on business matters related to the Trump Organization's golf courses in Scotland. This meeting follows Swinney's previous support for Kamala Harris in the U.S. presidential election. Critics, including Scottish Conservative leader Russell Findlay, have labeled Swinney a hypocrite for engaging with the Trump family after previously denouncing them. The meeting has sparked debate about the blurred lines between business and politics. Swinney's actions have drawn attention to his role as First Minister, with some arguing he should prioritize local issues over foreign political involvement. The situation has raised questions about the responsibilities of Scottish leaders in addressing domestic concerns.
