The presumptive Republican nominee for president will attend the official opening ceremony for the Turnberry resort he owns on the west coast of Scotland on June 24. The golf club’s public-relations company said his schedule is still being finalized. The final result of the vote on a so-called Brexit is due to be announced at about breakfast time after an all-night count, according to the U.K.’s Electoral Commission.
