Trump meets Von der Leyen in Scotland
The Telegraph ^ | 27 July 2025 | Niamh Robinson

Donald Trump and Ursula von der Leyen are meeting at the US president’s golf course in Scotland to discuss the prospect of a trade deal.

The summit with the president of the EU commission could mark a breakthrough in trade negotiations, ending months of uncertainty.

Talks between the two leaders are now underway as part of the president’s five-day trip to Scotland, which will also see him meet with Sir Keir Starmer.

On Friday, Mr Trump said there was around a “50/50” likelihood of a deal being reached between the US and the EU.

The US president initially threatened 30 per cent tariffs on all EU imports from his deadline of Aug 1, so Ms Von der Leyen and her delegation will be seeking to seal a deal that ends the threat of an all-out trade war.

Don’t be fooled, 90% of the discussions will be about Ruzzia, Ruzzia, Ruzzia, Ruzzia, and maybe Ukraine. It is a psychological OBSESSION with the European leaders, particularly the female ones.

The EU sees itself as being superior to us in every single way. They see us as the past and themselves as the future. I can easily imagine them...and Red China (which also sees themselves that way)...as being the toughest to agree with. In fact I can see an all out trade war happening between us and either of them.

Trump is using the meeting at his golf club as intimidation and strength. As for a trade war, Europe loses, especially Germany. Pull all US military out of Europe and leave NATO.

NATO makes sense at this point because Trump is not going to want to continue to pay for the arms in Ukraine.

However, he is willing to sell the arms to NATO then they can give them to Ukraine.

From the tone I heard of a portion of their interview…a deal will be made.
She described it as their biggest personal deals, ever
Trump corrected her and said Japan was his biggest deal
Still sounded like Ursula was in for some legacy-making

Had to laugh as he didn’t miss the opportunity to complain about the ‘windmills at his golf course and what a con job they are”.

Surprising they didn’t try to somehow work Epstein into this report. The media is in a full court press to connect Trump with the Epstein crimes.

Russia has got more to deal with than just Ukraine.

Russia is a dying country. It’s current population is roughly 145 million and it’s birthrate is declining.

In addition to that Russian men, even before the war were vanishing, leaving the country, or just leaving society or dying at a young age.

Alcoholism is rampant as well in every level of Russian society including the military.
