The Guardian appeared on Saturday to have been barred by Donald Trump’s presidential campaign after a spat the previous day, when the presumptive Republican presidential nominee took offence over questioning about his allegedly “toxic” politics.
A Guardian reporter and photographer were denied access to Trump’s golf resort in Aberdeen, Scotland, on Saturday morning, where Trump is on the second day of a two-day UK visit.
Trump broke off from the White House campaign trail for the visit to his golf resorts in Scotland, landing in Britain just hours after the UK opted for to leave the European Union in a historic referendum.
When two Guardian staff members arrived at the entrance to the Trump International Golf Links on Saturday morning, they were denied entry by staff. Officials at the event said the Guardian was not on the list and did not have credentials.
