Tartan and Trade Talks

President Trump is mixing business with high-security golf on his trip to Scotland.

News of Uncle Sam’s new trade deal—announced from the course—with the European Union drew swift backlash from key European leaders. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the deal would "substantially damage" Germany’s economy, while French PM Francois Bayrou called it a “dark day” and likened the deal to “submission.” The agreement still needs approval from all 27 E.U. member states.

Meanwhile, #47 promised “severe sanctions” against Russia in 10-12 days unless a ceasefire was reached with Ukraine, shortening his previous 50-day deadline due to a lack of progress.

Trump wrapped up his Scotland trip with a final round of golf—this time at his family’s new course in the village of Balmedie, which will host a PGA Senior Championship later this week.

Verse to consider whether you have a world-altering work trip or spend your day cleaning toilets… “Commit your activities to the Lord, and your plans will be established.”
