Donald Trump {opposes wind farm} accused of bullying Scottish government (BBC)

American billionaire Donald Trump has been accused of attempting to bully the Scottish government.

Mr Trump has offered to bankroll protesters campaigning against wind farms.

However, Niall Stuart, chief executive of Scottish Renewables, said decisions on energy and economic policy were for the Scottish government.

Mr Trump's spokesman George Sorial dismissed the bullying allegations as "absurd".

Mr Stuart said: "Decisions over Scotland's energy and economic policy are for the democratically-elected government of Scotland, not billionaire American businessmen sitting in New York," he said.
