July 25 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump leaves for Scotland today for a visit through Tuesday to see his two golf resorts and refine the trade deal with the United Kingdom in a meeting with Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Scotland is the home of Trump's mother, but it's also where he's faced strong protests in previous visits.
He plans to visit his Turnberry and Aberdeen golf clubs, and meet with Starmer. Britain and the United States already reached a trade deal in June, but this meeting is to refine it. The deal was to cut tariffs and improve trade between the two countries.
As Trump prepares for his Aug. 1 deadline for trade agreements, he's pushing countries to make deals with him to prevent high tariff rates. The U.K.'s agreement kept a 10% universal tariff while lowering tariffs on automobiles and steel. The U.K. said it will open its markets for U.S. agricultural products such as beef and ethanol.
