Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has claimed Britons "took back control of their country" by voting in favour of Brexit from the European Union, as he arrived in Scotland on a two-day visit.
Trump is in Scotland to attend the reopening of the Trump Turnberry golf course following a £200 million restoration.
Trump is expected to give a press conference later in the day where he is expected to address the Brexit vote.
Trump had already voiced his support for a Brexit in May this year, when he said that in his view Britain would be "better off" outside of the EU, but stressed this is his opinion, not his recommendation.
Praising the Brexit, he suggested other countries could follow and warned, "this will not be the last".
"I said this was going to happen and I think it's a great thing and we will see, but I think it's going to be a great thing," the Independent quoted Trump, as saying.
"Basically, they took back control of their country - that's a great thing," he added.
He told reporters: "They are angry over borders, they are angry over people coming into the country and taking over, and nobody even knows who they are [.] they are angry about many, many things.
In a statement on Facebook, the presumptive Republican nominee said a Trump administration would "strengthen our ties with a free and independent Britain", and deepen bonds in commerce, culture and mutual defence.
