Turnberry hit the headlines as Trump’s Scottish golf resort faces political and trade tensions amid EU and US tariff threats.
President Donald Trump has given the EU until 4 July to implement the Turnberry trade deal or the US will raise tariffs on EU cars and trucks from 15% toward 25%. He has said he spoke to European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen, set the deadline tied to US Independence Day, and warned of "much higher" duties if the bloc does not act.
The European Union and the United States have advanced the landmark tariff agreement reached last summer at Turnberry, Scotland. Negotiators have reached a compromise on eliminating most tariffs for industrial goods while capping others, as Parliament and member states move to ratify ahead of President Trump’s July deadline. The deal faces intense domestic scrutiny in both blocs, with lawmakers weighing strategic benefits against political risks.
