European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is set to meet with President Donald Trump this weekend in Scotland to discuss trade.

LONDON—President Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen are scheduled to meet Sunday during the U.S. president’s visit to Scotland, raising hopes that the U.S. and Europe are close to a trade deal that would avoid a trans-Atlantic trade war.

President Donald Trump put the odds of striking a trade deal with Europe to reduce the tariff rate on their imports at 50-50, even as diplomats from the trading bloc have expressed optimism in recent days that an agreement could be near.

Before his 2016 election, President Trump correctly predicted that the forces animating Brexit would go beyond the United Kingdom. But now most Britons say Brexit was a mistake.

He blamed former President Joe Biden for being a "total stiff" on immigration, allowing people to enter the country, adding that Europe is "allowing it to happen" as well. "You gotta stop this horrible invasion that's happening to Europe," he said.

The statement closely mirrors the “Great Replacement” theory pushed by extremist groups, which claims European populations are being systematically replaced by migrants—particularly from Africa and the Middle East.

A threatened 30% tariff on European wines would hurt many U.S. companies while hiking prices at home and in restaurants, industry experts warn.

The European Union has its problems, but the bloc is gaining public trust and making new friends. President Trump’s attacks are one reason why.

His comments come after Trump's top envoy, Steve Witkoff, said yesterday that he was pulling the U.S. team of negotiators out of Doha, Qatar, after Hamas' latest response in the talks, saying it "clearly shows a lack of desire to reach a ceasefire in Gaza."
