Trump's meeting with von der Leyen in Scotland: Live video
Negotiations on tariffs were at the centre of the meeting
It's a key day for a tariff agreement between Washington and Brussels . For the US president, there's a 50/50 chance of reaching an agreement. It's indeed the negotiating moment for Donald Trump, who is meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Scotland to try to reach a customs agreement. But time is running out: the tycoon, busy with his protectionist offensive, has given himself until August 1st before imposing 30% tariffs on European products entering the United States. Any agreement between the two leaders will have to be validated by EU member states . So much so that European diplomats could consult as early as this evening, in the event of "white smoke" in Turnberry, a town on the west coast of Scotland, where the Trump family owns a luxury golf resort.
