Threat Of US-EU Trade War Looms As Trump And Top European Official Plan Talks In Scotland

EDINBURGH, Scotland (AP) — Donald Trump has returned to his golf course in Turnberry, Scotland, for a round before discussing trade with European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen. Both sides are seeking an agreement on tariff rates now as the White House’s deadline to impose stiff import taxes looms this week. The United States and the European Union seemed close to a deal earlier this month. But Trump instead threatened a 30% tariff rate. Trump’s original deadline has passed, delayed until at least Friday. Without a deal, the EU says it is prepared to retaliate with tariffs on hundreds of American products.
