EPAUS President Donald Trump says his trade agreement with the UK will benefit “a lot” for Scotland.
After a meeting with the Prime Minister Sir Kir Stmper, Trump said he wanted to see Scotland “Thrive”.
The two met at Trump’s golf resort in South Irshire on the third entire day of the US President’s personal visit to Scotland.
He will travel to Aberdeen and meet Scotland’s first minister John Swine. Trump will use the trip to open a second course at his Meni Resort.
Swine is expected to join Trump and Starrer for dinner on Monday evening.
He said that he would use his meeting with the President to make a case to cut tariffs on Scotch Whiskey.
At a press conference with the stormer in Turnberry, Trump was pressed on whether there was a better deal on whiskey exports in the US.
He said: “I think when we make our business deal, overall, it comes to Scotland. I hope.”
Trump then turned to the starrer and said: “Maybe all this should come to Scotland”.
The Prime Minister said that the deal was “very good” for the whole of Britain, “We have already achieved great things on the deal and we will achieve even more”.
PA mediaTrump also told reporters that “it is a part of the world that I want to thrill, it is about to flourish”.
The US President talked about his Scottish mother, who was born on the Stornov on the Isle of Lewis in the external hebrids.
He said: “I love Scotland. My mother loved Scotland and she loved the queen.”
Trump said he did not want to join British domestic politics when he was asked for his opinion on plans for a second referendum on Scottish freedom.
He said that he did not know the first minister John Swine, but he said: “I listen to very good things about him, and I am meeting him today, so perhaps I will have a better opinion.”
RootsWas speaking before BBC BreakfastSwine said he would suppress the President to exempt Scotch Whiskey from the American business tariff.
The American market is one of the most important for the Scotch Whiskey Industry, which costs more than £ 900m per year.
Swine said the specificity of distilled whiskey in Scotland justified a discount from 10% tariff applied to UK exports.
He said that tariffs were currently costing £ 4 meters in a week.
Swine said: “Tariffs are very important for the Scottish economy and obviously Scotch whiskey is a unique product.
“It can only be manufactured in Scotland. It is not a product that can be produced in any other part of the world.
“Obviously the trade deal with the United States provides a degree of stability for economic connections with the United States, but the application of tariffs is increasing the cost for the Scotch whiskey industry.”
Swine also said that he would try to ensure that President Trump knows “the strength of emotion” in Scotland on the human situation in Gaza in Scotland.
President Trump arrived in Scotland on Friday evening, Air Force One traveled to Turnberry near Glasgow Prestvick Airport before touching his antage.
He has since spent two days in Turnberry, playing golf with friends and guests, who have been billed as a private journey.
A high-level security operation was extended over the weekend, but public protests were limited to a handful of individuals in Turnberry, while the main Trump protests in Aberdeen and Edinburgh on Saturday passed largely peacefully.
The first minister said that the final cost of policing has not been worked yet, but his government was “working very closely with the police Scotland, Scottish Police Authority and the UK government”.
He said: “The security system has become good since President Trump came on Friday.
“It is also important that the members of the public who want to express their words, who want to oppose the journey or other issues, are capable of going about their practice of their democratic rights to protest.”
Trump on Sunday hosted a meeting with Ursula von Der Leyen, chairman of the European Union Commission at Turnberry, where he agreed to a new transatalantic trade deal.
After joining hands on the deal, Trump said: “It is going to bring us together … It is a partnership in a sense.”
Von Der Leyen also called it as a “big deal”, which came after “tough talks”.
This agreement determines American tariffs on goods from the European Union at 15% across the board.
It was facing 30% levy on its exports to the US since August 1.
President Trump will travel back to Washington on Tuesday and is due to returning to the UK for an official state trip in September.
