Labour’s Torcuil Crichton, the new MP for Nah-Eileanan an Iar, extended the offer to the US president-elect in a Christmas card.
The mothers of both men come from the same village of Tong on the Isle of Lewis. Mr Trump’s late mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, left in the 1930s at the age of just 18 to move to America.
Mr Crichton said: “Oceans may separate our political views but the president and I are both sons of Lewis with mothers from the same village, and I thought it might be an appropriate Christmas gesture to invite him home.”
He added that Mr Trump’s mother “who returned regularly, is fondly remembered. The president of the United States would be sure to get a warm island welcome if he chose to come.”
