But there's one thing that Trump keeps on bringing up, and that thing is windmills.
He HATES them.
It was one of the first things he said on arrival:
Trump in Scotland: I say two things to Europe. Stop the windmills. I really mean it. It's so sad. You fly over and you see these windmills all over the place, ruining your beautiful fields and valleys and killing your birds🤡 pic.twitter.com/aV1igGjTTQ

"Stop the windmills. You're ruining your countries. I really mean it. It's so sad," he said. "You fly over and you see these windmills all over the place, ruining your beautiful fields and valleys and killing your birds. If they're stuck in the ocean, ruining your oceans."
It came up in his meeting with EU President Ursula von der Leyen:
Trump: "The other thing I say to Europe: We will not allow a windmill to be built in the United States. They are killing us." pic.twitter.com/QL9vZHnL0F

"And the other thing I say to Europe: We will not allow a windmill to be built in the United States," he said. "They're killing us. They're killing the beauty of our scenery, our valleys, our beautiful plains. I'm not talking about airplanes, I'm talking about beautiful PLAINS. Beautiful areas in the United States, and you look up and you see windmills all over the place. It's a horrible thing."
Meanwhile the EU president was like "..."
It came up yet again when he met with UK Prime Minister Starmer:
Trump: "Wind is a disaster. It destroys the beauty of your fields, your plains, you waterways, and look out there -- there's no windmills. But if you look in another direction you see windmills." pic.twitter.com/hdY8M3jlca

"When we go to Aberdeen you'll see some of the ugliest windmills you'll ever see," he said. "They're the height of 50-story building. And you can take 1,000 times more energy out of a hole this big. It's called oil and gas. You have it there in the North Sea."
The Prime Minister also sat by like "..."

Gold Holds Gains After Softer US Job Data, Tariff Roll-Outs
(Bloomberg) -- Gold was steady after gaining the most in two months on Friday, as traders weighed the implications of soft jobs data for the US economy and the Federal Reserve's interest-rate path. We Should All Be Biking Along the Beach Seeking Relief From Heat and Smog, Cities Follow the Wind Chicago Curbs Hiring, Travel to Tackle $1 Billion Budget Hole NYC Mayor Adams Gives Bally's Bronx Casino Plan a Second Chance Bullion traded near $3,360 an ounce, after rising 2.2% in the previous session while equities dipped. The precious metal's jump was driven by two main factors: a dramatic slowdown in US hiring report that fueled rate-cut bets, and President Donald Trump's roll-out of some of the steepest trade tariffs since the 1930s. The US added 73,000 jobs in July while the prior two months' data were revised down by nearly 260,000, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said on Friday. Trump fired the head of the agency hours after the report sent markets tumbling. Gold has climbed more than a quarter this year as Trump's tumultuous policymaking and geopolitical tensions elsewhere in the world boosts haven demand. Investors and analysts see more gains ahead with continued central bank buying and potential rate cuts. Bullion was 0.3% lower at $3,354.29 an ounce as of 8:34 a.m. Singapore time.

Modi Defiant as Trump Steps Up Pressure on India's Russia Oil Purchases
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi struck a defiant tone in the face of US President Donald Trump's tariff threats, urging the nation to buy local goods as his administration signaled it would continue buying Russian oil. Modi's government hasn't given India's oil refiners instructions to stop buying Russian oil, and no decision has been taken on whether to halt the purchases, people familiar with the situation told Bloomberg, asking not to be named due to the sensitivity of the matter. Both state-run and private refiners are allowed to buy from preferred sources, and crude purchases remain a commercial decision, several of the people said.
