Pres. Trump is reiterating comments from earlier in the day as he crosses the Atlantic for his weekend visit in the UK:
- We will see if we can make a deal with EU on Sunday
- Will be meeting with a lot of people including EU leader .
- We have a good 50-50 chance of EU deal, 20 different sticking points
- The EU deal will be the biggest of all if we make it.
- Will discuss other things with Starmer, Deal is done.
- Stop the windmill to the EU, criticizing how they look
- The EU needs to get their act together on immigration.
The trip is being described as a working/vacation. He will be opening a new golf course named for his mother. I assume he might hit a shot but the conditions might be a little tough for his game (vs playing in Florida or New Jersey).
