It hasn’t been the best of times for Donald Trump’s campaign lately. He’s faced money woes, dipping poll numbers and a campaign shakeup this week. But the billionaire real estate mogul is taking a break from the campaign trail to go handle his business.

In his first international trip since becoming the presumptive Republican nominee, Trump will check on a pair of his golf courses in Scotland. Some in his party are concerned his attention is divided between his businesses and his campaign.
“I’m not sure what the purpose of the trip is,” said Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.). He hopes Trump returns to the states “quickly.”
Trump’s Turnberry golf course has undergone a $300 million renovation. Trump’s son, Eric, oversaw the project.
Trump — whose mother was born in Scotland — will visit the championship golf course Friday before heading to another course he owns in Aberdeen on Saturday. He’ll then head back home to the U.S.
“It’s a brief but important visit, and then he will be back on the campaign trail,” Eric Trump said.

The trip is also happening at a pivotal point for the United Kingdom, as voters there are deciding whether to remain in the European Union.
There are no meetings planned between Trump and any foreign leaders. In 2012, then presidential hopeful Mitt Romney met with Britain’s prime minister during a trip.
