Protestors took to the streets throughout Scotland on Saturday, July 26, as United States President Donald Trump played golf in South Ayrshire.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the\u00a0New York Times<\/a>, the group, \u201cStop Trump Scotland\u201d organized what they called a festival of resistance. Signs ranged from climate concerns to the release of the Epstein files.<\/a><\/p>\n

Mel Young, 58, told the Times, \u201cI\u2019m just so horrified by the normalization of cruelty, corruption and mass disinformation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is just one tiny plot of the whole thing,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Golf is just part of the president\u2019s plans for Scotland.\u00a0\u00a0On Saturday, he is also expected to meet with United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer. On Sunday, July 27, he plans to meet with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump told<\/a> reporters\u00a0von der Leyen is a highly respected woman, and there\u2019s a \u201cgood 50-50 chance\u201d for a trade deal.<\/a> He added it \u201cwould be the biggest deal of them all if we can make it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Guardian\u00a0reported that sources said Trump would not have agreed to meet with von der Leyen unless a deal was ready to be signed.<\/p>\n

Trump and Starmer struck a trade deal back in May. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe deal includes billions of dollars of increased market access for American exports, especially in agriculture, dramatically increasing access for American beef, ethanol and virtually all of the products produced by our great farmers,\u201d\u00a0Trump said<\/a> at the time.<\/p>\n

Starmer agreed. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is going to boost trade between and across our countries,\u201d he previously said. \u201cIt\u2019s going to not only protect jobs, but create jobs, opening market access.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Straight Arrow News previously reported<\/a>, the first 100,000 vehicles that U.K. carmakers export to the U.S. each year will have a reduced tariff of 10% under the agreement, while any vehicles beyond that quota will be taxed at the higher rate of 25%.<\/p>\n

In exchange, Britain has agreed to allow more American goods, especially agricultural products like beef and ethanol, into its market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Protestors took to the streets throughout Scotland on Saturday, July 26, as United States President Donald Trump played…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":294719,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5174],"tags":[51,30705,2000,299,5187,1699,30706,807,30700,30707,30708,285,712,30709,3075,30701,13128,15,30710],"class_list":{"0":"post-294718","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-eu","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-distro","10":"tag-eu","11":"tag-europe","12":"tag-european","13":"tag-european-union","14":"tag-imds","15":"tag-keir-starmer","16":"tag-news-update","17":"tag-newsbreak","18":"tag-oovvuu","19":"tag-politics","20":"tag-scotland","21":"tag-smartnews","22":"tag-tariff","23":"tag-text-only","24":"tag-trade-deal","25":"tag-united-kingdom","26":"tag-ve"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114922668916298011","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/294718","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=294718"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/294718\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/294719"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=294718"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=294718"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=294718"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
