Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump will travel to the United Kingdom this month to reopen a golf course there, visiting just a day after a scheduled referendum on whether the country should remain in the European Union.

Trump will dedicate the renovated Trump Turnberry golf course in Scotland on June 24—just after the so-called “Brexit” vote. Turnberry spokesperson Lisa McGhee confirmed the date, telling AFP that, “There will be an official ribbon-cutting ceremony with invited guests, and Mr. Trump himself.”
