Trump dropped as global Scot

Donald Trump has been stripped of his status as a Scotland business ambassador by First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, Press Association reports.

He has had his membership of the GlobalScot business network withdrawn, a Scottish government spokeswoman confirmed.
"Mr Trump's recent remarks have shown that he is no longer fit to be a business ambassador for Scotland and the First Minister has decided his membership of the respected GlobalScot business network should be withdrawn with immediate effect."

Mr Trump had been a member of GlobalScot since being invited to join in 2006.

The network of business leaders, entrepreneurs and executives with a connection to Scotland was set up by Scottish Enterprise in 2001.

There are also calls for the businessman to be stripped of his honorary degree from Robert Gordon University (RGU) in Aberdeen.

More than 20,000 people have now signed a petition calling for him to be stripped of his honorary degree from Robert Gordon University (RGU) in Aberdeen.

He had been awarded a Doctorate of Business Administration in October 2010. His position is being considered, the current principal Professor Ferdinand von Prondzynski said.
