The SNP Government must make clear that Donald Trump is not welcome in Scotland, the Greens have demanded.
The US President-elect is expected to visit his Aberdeenshire golf resort later this year to open its recently completed second course.
Trump could also spend time at Turnberry, his hotel and golf complex in Ayrshire, when he flies over for a likely summer trip.
First Minister John Swinney has already spoken with the incoming president during a phone call late last year.
But the Scottish Greens are adamant the red carpet should not be rolled out for any Trump visit to Scotland, regardless of his business interests in the country.
Patrick Harvie, the party’s co-leader, branded the American “a friend of despots, demagogues and dictators and a threat to migrant communities”.
Swinney previously told MSPs he had a “a duty to promote and to protect the interests of Scotland”.
Trump’s mother was born and raised on the Isle of Lewis and he has regularly spoken proudly of his Scottish roots.
The incoming president has also become increasingly vocal on UK political matters. He last week demanded for the North Sea to be “opened up” after an American oil firm announced it was quitting the sector.
Harvie said: “Four years ago Donald Trump was inciting rioters to storm the Capitol and block the democratic process. In the time since, he has doubled down on right wing conspiracy theories and refused to show even the slightest shred of contrition or regret.
“The thought of four more years of a racist, climate-wrecking and misogynistic Donald Trump in the White House is one that should concern us all. He is a friend of despots, demagogues and dictators and a threat to migrant communities, LGBTQ+ people and reproductive rights.
“We cannot stand aside or condone the divisive and hateful politics that he represents.
“With the prospect of Donald Trump coming to Scotland for the opening of his golf course, it is crucial that our government takes a stand for human rights, equality and the other values that Trump has done so much to oppose.
“I urge the First Minister and his colleagues to turn down any meeting requests while he is here.
“Political relationships with other countries are important, but those relationships should be focused on those who share civilised values and respect for basic democratic norms.”
A Scottish Government spokesman said: “As the First Minister said in the Scottish Parliament, while there will be political differences from one government to another, it is the duty of the Scottish Government to promote and protect the interests of Scotland.
“The USA is one of Scotland’s most important markets and source of inward investment. We greatly appreciate the strong and lasting social, cultural and economic ties we have with the United States.
“Scottish ministers will work to make sure these ties continue to flourish, consistent with the values that underpin Scotland and the United States.”
