Donald Trump hails Brexit vote in Scotland visit

Donald Trump, in a visit to Scotland, hailed Britain’s vote to leave the European Union, drawing parallels to the anger driving his own presidential campaign.

“I love to see people take their country back,” he told reporters at a news conference at one of his golf courses in Scotland. “And that’s really what’s happening in the United States” and other parts of the world.

The campaign leading to Thursday’s stunning vote for Britain to leave the European Union shared some of the populist themes driving the Trump campaign, including a wariness of immigration, concern about borders, and scepticism of the value of multinational organisations.
