As Trump visits Scotland, the UK will look to cement trade deal

While US President Donald Trump visited Scotland this week, he will want to further strengthen the hot ties with the British White House leader and complete some important unfinished jobs.

The president will visit two golf sites belonging to Turnberry and Trump in Aberdeen between Friday and Tuesdays and one of the new golf fields to be opened in August.

In addition, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer held an informal meeting and recently the US-UK trade agreement White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt Given to journalists last week.

The agreement between Washington and London focused on a 10% basic tariff for British goods coming to the states, while at the same time set certain quotas and exemptions for automobiles and aviation exports.

“Deal” begins on June 30, the agreement has the remaining parts of the “commitment” stage. One of them is the commitment to remove the 25% tariff on the UK steel and aluminum – the rest of the world was hit with a 50% task – the British steel imports need to be “melted and spilled” in Turkey and not to come from China.

There are also ongoing, prickly discussions A digital service tax This is hit by technology companies, even if it is not central in the UK, which Washington wants to be removed.

Therefore, although most of the UK peers, especially their neighbors in the European Union before August 1, they are in a better position than their neighbors looking for a last trench commercial agreement.

The question, Peel Hunt Chief Economist Kallum Pickering, Wednesday, said in a statement on Wednesday, where we can see some “Ver and Al” in the US trade agreement.

“Of course, England probably wants steel and aluminum tariffs to go down. And the US has a little problem on the digital service tax, so it is only an easy agreement,” Trump and Starmer said there may be some special title announcements when they meet.

“In this context, anything that makes a positive return to the UK-US relations [wider] The last date of August 1, probably in the margin, is actually positive for England, even the agreement itself is not good. We don’t look at the details here and say, ‘Oh, it’s a great trade agreement’, just in the context, it doesn’t actually look too bad, Pic Pickering said.

Although his possible bedmates are politically possible, the Republican Trump seems to have a good deal with Starmer, who is the chairman of a central left government. When the leaders appeared in a cheerful mood in the seven peak groups in June, Trump was asked whether England would be protected from more tariffs.

“Britain is well protected. Do you know why? Because I love them. This is their final protection,” Trump replied.

Before this last meeting with Starmer, the US President said that negotiations with the British Prime Minister would be “probably one of my properties” in Aberdeen. However, the White House has not yet explained this detail to the public.

A trip to Scotland, Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will come in front of a state visit on September 17-19, the White House, the President “honored” and Windsor Castle, King Charles and Queen Camilla said he was looking forward to meeting.
