Donald Trump descended from the Air Force One, set foot in Scotland and served as Donald Trump: he released a couple of promises half cooking and two other comments destined to generate controversy. The president of the United States landed late Friday at the Prestwic airport ,. As soon as he arrived, he warned Europe of his imminent extinction because of the arrival of migrants. Despite the alleged privacy of the visit, Trump’s busy schedule has been filled with appointments, which include meetings with the United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer; the main minister of Scotland, John Sweeney; and to try to close a tariff agreement with the US president.
“She is a highly respected woman,” Trump said when referring to Von der Leyen. While playing with the mystery and uncertainty with which he usually decorates his answers, he insisted that the possibilities of finally closing a commercial agreement with the EU are “a 50/50”, and that “there are still thorny points around 20 different subjects.”
Nobody wants to give it this Sunday when the pact is made official around tariffs, but the progress made this week in the negotiation, with a 15% general tariff proposal for European exports to the United States, lead to think that it would be possible to close the agreement in Scotland.
(On the other end, on the east coast, north of Aberdeen). It will be precisely in Aberdeen where he meets with British Prime Minister Starmer on Monday.
Starmer has cultivated Trump’s friendship with bold since he arrived at the White House, and is confident in being able to start some improvements from the commercial agreement signed between Washington and London in early May., And although it was more advantageous for the British compared to the EU, he continued to tax with a general rate of 10% exports.
“I like your prime minister. It is slightly more liberal [el término con el que los estadounidenses definen todo lo que suene a izquierda] That I, but is a good man. And he has reached a good commercial agreement, ”Trump told reporters at the airport, without giving clues about possible modifications of that pact.
Migrants and mills
The US president has resumed one of his obsessions, migration, as soon as he reached Scotland, to warn Europeans in general of the risk that they run, according to him, to be completely invaded. “Or you begin to act or Europe will cease to exist. In our country, last month, no one entered. Nobody. Completely closed,” Trump said. “Some political leaders are preventing it, and they are not recognized sufficiently. They could give their names right now, but I don’t want to embarrass the rest. But, or the paravis, or immigration will end up killing Europe,” he warned.
with 11 turbines, in the North Sea, off the British coast. The United Kingdom has become in recent years a power in renewable energies, and its landscape (especially sailor) has been filled with mills. Trump protested because the image had spoiled the sea views from his golf course.
Upon arrival in Scotland, it made it clear that it drags the wound and battle: “Stop installing mills. You are ruining your countries. It is so sad. From the plane you see mills everywhere, that ruin your wonderful fields and valleys and kill the birds. And when you installed them in the oceans, you ruin them equally,” he said.
Throughout the weekend, acts of protest against Trump are expected in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen, as in previous visits. The broad security device will maintain these manifestations very at a distance from the presence of the American dignitary.
