Sturgeon would ‘pay’ to see Trump confrontation

Nicola Sturgeon has said she would “pay money” to see a confrontation between the brother of a Dunblane massacre victim and Donald Trump.

The First Minister made the comments while speaking to LBC about meeting Alison Crozier and her son Jack, whose five-year-old sister Emma died in the 1996 shooting.

The pair were invited to Holyrood having returned from the US to support relatives of the Parkland high school tragedy in Florida.

Ms Sturgeon told the radio station it was a privilege meeting the pair, who have spoken about the impact of tragedy and the subsequent campaign which led to stricter gun controls in the UK.

During the interview Ms Sturgeon also said she would meet with Mr Trump if he travels to Scotland, adding: “I’ve always said that the values that have always underpinned the relationship between America and Scotland are what matters most and it would be those values that I would want to speak up for and make sure I voiced very strongly, and I think I, probably like most other people, would pay money to see a confrontation between young Jack (Crozier) and President Trump.”
