A British photojournalist has uncovered yet another instance of "Made in China" products being sold at U.S. President Donald Trump's Turnberry golf resort in Scotland, despite his longstanding criticism of Chinese imports and advocacy for "America First" trade policies.
The discovery came during Trump's five-day visit to his Scottish property, where reporters spotted gold-plated playing cards bearing his name alongside a conspicuous "Made in China" label in the resort's newly opened gift shop. Other merchandise included "TRUMP"-branded caps and teddy bears wearing sweaters emblazoned with the former president's surname—all marketed as American products despite their overseas manufacturing origins.
This revelation follows a pattern of Trump-associated products being sourced from China, including the iconic red "MAGA" hats he distributed during U.S.-Japan trade negotiations, which were later revealed to be Chinese-made. The Turnberry resort's online store states its products are "for U.S. customers only," yet many items sold on-site would typically face heavy tariffs if imported to America under Trump's own trade policies.
The irony has drawn sharp criticism from trade policy analysts, who note Trump's aggressive tariffs on Chinese goods—including his recent threat of 100% duties—contrast starkly with his business ventures' continued reliance on Chinese manufacturing.
Trump's team has not commented on the latest findings. The incident highlights ongoing tensions between the former president's political messaging and his global business empire's supply chain realities.
