U.S. President Donald Trump declined to forecast outcomes on a potential EU-U.S. tariff agreement hours before his scheduled meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Scotland. Speaking to Sky News while golfing at his Turnberry resort on Sunday, Trump rated the odds of securing a trade deal as “50-50.” Diplomatic aides (sherpas) continue negotiations on draft terms centering on a base tariff rate of 14.8%. Currently, Washington enforces a provisional 10% duty on EU goods, layered atop a pre-existing 4.8% levy from the pre-Trump era. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirmed the August 1 deadline for tariffs remains absolute, stating: “There will be no extension.” The leaders’ summit is set for 17:30 local time.
