Scottish authorities arrested a suspect for vandalizing Trump Turnberry, the prestigious golf course owned by former U.S. President Donald Trump. Over the weekend, the suspect and activists caused significant damage, splattering red paint across a clubhouse and defacing sections of the course with political messages.
Police Scotland confirmed the arrest of a 33-year-old man in connection with the attack. Investigators continue assessing the damage and determining if others participated. The activist group Palestine Action claimed responsibility, stating they targeted the course in response to Trump’s comments on the future of Gaza.
Activists Claim Responsibility
The group allegedly carried out the attack early Saturday morning, around 4:40 AM. They splattered red paint on the clubhouse, dug up parts of the course, and scrawled the message “Gaza is not for sale” on a putting green. The demonstration followed Trump’s suggestion to remove Palestinians from Gaza- remarks that drew widespread condemnation.
