Donald Trump and Ursula von der Leyen will meet 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 expected to begin at around 4.30pm local time 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.
