Donald Trump has agreed a trade deal with the EU Commission president after he played a round of golf on the second full day of his visit to Scotland. The US president shook hands on the deal with Ursula von der Leyen at his luxury Turnberry resort, saying: "It's going to bring us closer together... it's a partnership in a sense."

"I think it's the biggest deal ever made," Trump said of the new agreement, which will reduce the bloc's tariff rate to 15 percent.

The Europe trade deal will see the U.S. impose a 15% import tariff on most EU goods − half the threatened rate but much more than Europeans hoped for.
