Turnberry

Turnberry, Scotland, specifically Donald Trump's golf club there, is the location where a significant EU-US trade agreement was signed in July 2025 by then-President Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. This agreement, designed to end a trade war initiated by US tariffs, is newsworthy because the European Parliament recently ratified it in late March 2026, albeit with conditions. The agreement establishes a 15% tariff on most European exports to the US in exchange for investment promises. However, the EU is adding clauses to protect itself from potential future tariff threats from the Trump administration. The agreement's ratification process has faced delays, and the US has reportedly threatened to cut off EU access to American LNG if the agreement isn't ratified, highlighting the ongoing tensions and the agreement's current relevance in transatlantic trade relations.
