Turnberry vandalism case hinges on terrorism-linked charge

Seven people have been charged with criminal damage in a protest at Donald Trump’s Turnberry resort, with the indictment claiming the offence has a 'terrorist connection' under Section 31 of the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008 (as amended by the 2021 Act). Prosecutors say the group dug up turf, sprayed weedkiller, damaged a sprinkler system and lighting, and daubed slogans including 'Free Gaza' on the course and buildings; the Defend Our Juries group has criticized the move, arguing the accused could face longer sentences despite not being charged with terrorism offenses.

Turnberry vandalism could carry terrorism-linked penalties, Scottish prosecutors say

Seven pro-Palestinian activists are indicted for vandalising Trump’s Turnberry golf course, accused of digging up turf, spraying chemicals and painting slogans; prosecutors say the malicious mischief is aggravated by a terrorist connection, which could lead to tougher sentences if proven, as UK courts increasingly consider terrorism laws in protest-related cases.

Merz walks a fine line with Trump to soothe tensions

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has pivoted back to a conciliatory approach toward Donald Trump, praising the U.S. president on key issues like tariffs and Iran policy while urging swift talks to de‑escalate tensions and salvage transatlantic ties, even as European ministers push for Europe to assume more NATO responsibilities and some SPD lawmakers advocate countermeasures against Trump’s threats.

Open Championship heads to Royal Lytham in 2028, while Turnberry and Muirfield are sidelined

The Open is returning to Royal Lytham & St Annes in 2028 for its 12th staging there, with Turnberry and Muirfield not on the rota. The event will run August 3–6, 2028 to dodge the LA Olympics golf schedule, and follows 2027 at St Andrews; Lytham has undergone remodelling to accommodate a modern Open, with related activity highlighted as the course also hosts the AIG Women’s Open later in July. Regional plans also include ongoing Renaissance Club arrangements for the Scottish Open through 2030.

Logistical Challenges Persist for Open Return to Trump Turnberry

The Open Championship is unlikely to return to Donald Trump's Turnberry course soon due to logistical issues related to transportation and infrastructure, despite the course's beauty and history of hosting the event. The R&A is in discussions with Trump Golf and the UK government but has expressed concerns about the challenges of hosting the tournament there, similar to other Scottish courses like Muirfield, which also faces infrastructure upgrades. The decision ultimately depends on resolving these logistical hurdles.
