The US military is regularly using publicly-owned Scottish infrastructure to conduct operations, including threats against our neighbours in Greenland.
We urge MSPs of all parties to back our motion to end US military operations and evict Trump's troops.

US military has landed at Prestwick more than 550 times, almost every single day, since 1 April 2025.
That is not the occasional stop-off, that is sustained military use of publicly-owned Scottish infrastructure.
It’s time for Parliament to stand up to Trump.
