“This negotiation started months ago, so we knew what we were getting into” and there was the intention of “reaching a satisfactory deal for both parties,” he said. “It will be very good for everyone,” said Trump, who reiterated that the agreement with the EU, which has a market of 800 million consumers, “is the largest of all.”
After closing the deal, the European entourage went to the airport, where Von der Leyen is expected to make statements. Trump received von der Leyen as a four-day personal trip to Scotland, which will end on Tuesday with a visit to his other golf course near Aberdeen in the northeast of the country. The US president will also meet on Monday in Turnberry with United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Stmermer, with whom he will address the bilateral tariff agreement, as well as wars in Ukraine and Gaza.
