"The relationship between Scotland and America is an important one, and I'm not going to, because of my own personal views, risk the interests of Scotland by not engaging with the American government.

UK Prime Minister Theresa May, who was serving as Home Secretary at the time, was less than impressed by Donald Trump's comments in connection with Muslims back in 2015.

"I think we all agree that the comments Donald Trump made in relation to Muslims were divisive, unhelpful and wrong," May said in response to his comments about UK Islamic extremism inDecember, 2015.

"I just think it shows he does not understand the UK and what happens in the UK," she added
