Trump Strikes Surprise EU Trade Deal After Golf Game

WooGlobe

Donald Trump has agreed to a major trade deal with EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen — just moments after finishing a round of golf at his luxury Turnberry resort in Scotland. The deal cuts US tariffs on European goods to 15%, avoiding a potential 30% trade war. Von der Leyen called it a “huge deal,” while Trump said it was “the biggest deal” and a sign of stronger partnership. But the visit wasn’t without tension. Trump dodged questions about Gaza aid and drew both protests and praise during his high-security stop in Scotland. Watch the full breakdown of this dramatic moment in global politics — sealed with a handshake, a golf swing, and Trump’s signature unpredictability.

00:28That's half of what the EU was bracing for by August.

00:32Von der Leyen called it a huge win after what she described as tough negotiations.

00:37Trump didn't hold back either.

00:39He said the EU wanted to make a deal very badly and declared this a partnership in a sense.

00:44But not everything was smooth.

00:46Asked about food aid to Gaza, Trump sidestepped the question and instead said the U.S. gave $60 million.
