- Ursula von der Leyen led a delegation including chief trade negotiators flying to Scotland to negotiate, while Trump indicated a 50-50 chance of making a deal.
- Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stated on Fox News that tariffs will start on August 1 if no agreement is made and that the EU must open markets to convince Trump to lower tariffs.
- The final outcome is still unclear, but both parties have expressed openness to negotiations, while the EU is preparing to impose tariffs on numerous American goods if an agreement is not reached.
