President Donald Trump went golfing at one of his resorts in Scotland over the weekend, ahead of his big face-to-face meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday.
"I have arrived in Scotland and will be at Trump Turnberry for two days of meetings, calls and hopefully, some golf - my primary form of exercise!" Trump said on Twitter Friday.
Trump said his expectations for the meeting with Putin in Helsinki meeting are low, but he also told CBS News that it's a "good thing" to meet with Putin.
"Nothing bad is going to come out of it, and maybe some good will come out," Trump said.
Foreign policy experts aren't so sure.
"I'm afraid," a former State Department official told The New Yorker. "Our guy here is like an amateur boxer going up against Muhammad Ali."
Before the meeting between Trump and Putin gets underway on Monday, the American president enjoyed a few rounds of golf on Saturday and Sunday, surrounded by protesters, police on horseback, and snipers. Take a look:
