US President Donald Trump and European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen will meet in Scotland this weekend for high-stakes talks aimed at averting a sweeping transatlantic tariff war.
EU chief Ursula von der Leyen and US President Donald Trump are set to meet in Scotland this weekend to address a prolonged transatlantic trade standoff.
Trump has threatened to impose punitive tariffs on numerous countries, including a potential 30-per-cent levy on EU goods, unless a trade agreement is reached by 1 August.
The EU is actively seeking a deal to avoid these tariffs while preparing retaliatory measures if negotiations fail. Von der Leyen announced the meeting on social media, emphasizing the importance of strong transatlantic trade relations.
