President Trump’s Scotland Trip Yields ‘Peace Deals And Trade Deals’

WASHINGTON—When President Donald Trump returns from Scotland, he’ll have plenty to show for his visit.

The White House is touting the “peace deals and trade deals” the president negotiated during his trip to the United Kingdom, including a major trade agreement with the European Union and a crucial truce between Thailand and Cambodia.

The trade deal with the European Union will “provide Americans with unprecedented levels of market access to the European Union,” the White House said Monday afternoon, noting that it rebalances the economic relationship between the two countries, “marks a generational modernization of the transatlantic alliance,” and provides Americans with “unprecedented levels of market access to the European Union.”

White House Assistant Press Secretary Taylor Rogers told The Daily Wire that the president is on a “winning streak” in Scotland.

“From peace deals to trade deals, this President has proven to be the ultimate negotiator and Deal Maker in Chief on behalf of the American people.”

Under the terms of the deal, the United States and European Union reached a Cooperation Agreement on Reciprocal, Fair and Balanced Trade, enabling American farmers, ranchers, fishermen, and manufacturers to increase their exports and expand their opportunities as well as reduce the goods trade deficit with the European Union.

The EU will also remove “significant” tariffs on American goods, and the White House specifically notes that this includes EU tariffs on American industrial goods exported to the EU — “creating enormous opportunities for American-made and American-grown goods to compete and win in Europe.” The White House predicts that this will drive growth across the American economy.

The European Union will purchase $750 billion of United States energy exports during the duration of the president’s time in office, strengthening American energy dominance and reducing Europe’s reliance on Russia. The EU will also invest $600 billion in the United States throughout the president’s term, in addition to over $100 billion invested in the United States every year by EU companies.

Also, during his British travels, the president negotiated a ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia.

“Just spoke to the Acting Prime Minister of Thailand and Prime Minister of Cambodia. I am pleased to announce that, after the involvement of President Donald J. Trump, both Countries have reached a CEASEFIRE and PEACE,” Trump said on Truth Social Monday.

“Congratulations to all! By ending this War, we have saved thousands of lives. I have instructed my Trade Team to restart negotiations on Trade. I have now ended many Wars in just six months — I am proud to be the President of PEACE!”

Trump had warned both parties that he would not make any trade deals with either country if they continued warring with one another.

“We happen to be, by coincidence, currently dealing on Trade with both Countries, but do not want to make any Deal, with either Country, if they are fighting — And I have told them so!” the president said in a TruthSocial post on Saturday.

Speaking to the press alongside British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Scotland on Monday, Trump emphasized that he is “disappointed” with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump said he will reduce the 50-day deadline he gave Putin two weeks ago, complaining that every time there appears to be progress, Russia launches another attack on Ukraine.

“We thought we had that settled numerous times, and then President Putin goes out and starts launching rockets into some city, like Kyiv, and kills a lot of people in a nursing home or whatever,” Trump said Monday. “You have bodies lying all over the street. And I said, ‘That’s not the way to do it.’”

“I’m going to make the new deadline of about 10 or 12 days from today. There’s no reason in waiting,” he added. “We just don’t see any progress being made.”

He also addressed the situation in Gaza, promising that the United States will provide food to children in the area. The president told reporters that he does “not particularly” agree with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s claim that no starvation is happening in Gaza, saying: “Those children look very hungry.”

“We’re gonna be getting some good, strong food,” the president noted. “We can save a lot of people. Those kids — that’s real starvation. I see it. You can’t fake that.”
