Letter from First Minister John Swinney to President-Elect Donald Trump following the election in the United States of America.

To: President-Elect Donald Trump

From: First Minister John Swinney

I am writing to convey my congratulations, and those of the people of Scotland, on your election as the 47th President of the United States of America.

The United States of America is Scotland’s most important market and source of inward investment but it is much more than that. Many people of Scottish descent, including yourself, have worked hard to shape the United States into a global power.

We greatly appreciate the strong and lasting social, cultural and economic ties we have with the United States and are sure that these will continue to flourish during your Presidency.

I wish you every success in your new role.
