What we know about Trump's visit to Scotland
Sir Keir Starmer has met with Donald Trump in Scotland today to discuss a range of issues including the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and tariffs.
The US president is hosting the prime minister at his Turnberry golf resort in Ayrshire as his four-day visit to Scotland draws to a close.
Starmer is expected to spend most of the day with Trump where he will, among other things, attempt to press the president for a trade deal on UK-made steel.
It comes after Trump announced he had agreed 'the biggest deal ever made' between the US and the European Union after high-stakes talks with Ursula von der Leyen at Turnberry on Sunday.
While the prime minister will be seeking to strengthen the UK's economic ties with the US on the golf course, business secretary Jonathan Reynolds told BBC Breakfast there is "more to do" in negotiations and that a "resolution" is unlikely to be reached today.
Here, Yahoo News takes a look at Trump's visit to Scotland and what is likely to be on the agenda today.
Why is Trump here?
Trump has been visiting his mother's ancestral homeland of Scotland since Friday for a mixture of business and pleasure.
The president has been pictured playing golf at his Turnberry course in South Ayrshire and was also expected to visit his other course on the Menie Estate, north of Aberdeen, during his visit.
He is expected to fly back to Washington on Tuesday, following his meetings on Monday with Starmer and Scotland's first minister John Swinney.
Swinney has vowed to press Trump to exempt Scotch whisky from US trade tariffs, which he says are currently costing the local industry £4m a week.
Swinney also promised to raise the situation in Gaza with Trump, as it was 'causing deep unease and concern and heartbreak within Scotland'.
Is this a state visit?
This four-day trip is not a state visit, although Trump is scheduled to make a state visit to the UK between 17 and 19 September.
It will be a historic first, as Trump is the first elected leader in modern history to be invited back for a second state visit to the UK – the first being in 2019 during his first term as president.
The full details of the visit have not yet been released, but it will include a full ceremonial welcome and a state banquet at St George's Hall in Windsor Castle.
There had been speculation the King would host Trump in Scotland at Balmoral or Dumfries House, after Charles wrote a letter to him in February inviting him to a state visit.
However, it is understood that with the state visit scheduled just a few months later, both sides had agreed to wait until the formal gathering.
Anti-Trump campaigners have said they plan to stage a mass demonstration in central London on the first day of his trip.
What are Trump and Starmer likely to discuss?
Trump and Starmer are set to hold "wide-ranging" talks at the Turnberry golf course, No 10 Downing Street said, including advancing the implementation of the UK-US "economic prosperity deal".
The deal was agreed upon in general terms between Starmer and Trump in May, although further details are yet to be hammered out.
Progress was made in June when both leaders signed off on terms reducing tariffs on car and aerospace imports to the US.
But agreement on a similar arrangement for Britain's steel imports was not reached, leaving tariffs on steel at 25%.
American concerns over steel products made elsewhere in the world, then finished in the UK, are said to be among the sticking points on which Starmer will attempt to make progress.
Business secretary Jonathan Reynolds told BBC Breakfast that negotiations have been "going on on a daily basis" since an agreement was reached on automotive and aerospace imports but that it "wasn't job done".
"There's a few issues to push a little bit further today," he told the broadcaster. 'We won't perhaps have anything to announce a resolution of those talks.
"But there's some sectors that we still need to resolve, particularly around steel and aluminium, and there's the wider conversation about what the US calls its reciprocal tariffs.'
Starmer is also likely to use his time with Trump to raise concerns over the starvation of the population in Gaza caused by Israel's blockade of the Palestinian territory and restrictions on UN aid workers.
As the pair met, Starmer said people were 'revolted at what they are seeing on their screens' with regard to Gaza.
The prime minister has condemned Israel for restricting the flow of aid into the territory, alongside the leaders of France and Germany.
However, Washington's stance on Israel has been far less critical, having provided money to the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which has been criticised for bringing starving Palestinians to its sites only for them to allegedly be shot at by Israeli troops and US contractors.

No 10 said Starmer is expected to welcome Trump administration's work with mediators Qatar and Egypt to bring about a ceasefire and would discuss further what more can be done to bring the fighting and "unspeakable suffering" to a halt while securing the freedom of Israeli hostages.
Starmer has also been facing pressure from more than 220 MPs calling for an immediate recognition of a Palestinian state – something French president Emmanuel Macron has promised to do – although it is unclear if the PM will bring this up with Trump today.
Securing peace in Ukraine will also be high on the agenda, with the prime minister set to talk about their shared desire to bring an end to the war, No 10 said.
They are expected to reflect on progress in their 50-day drive to arm Ukraine and force Putin to the negotiating table. After their meeting the two leaders will travel on together to a private engagement in Aberdeen.

How the E.U. Wooed Trump With Flashy but Flimsy Numbers
When Donald Trump unveiled his trade deal with the European Union on Sunday night, he fixated on its size. And when the White House later released a fact sheet on the agreement, it trumpeted pledges by the Europeans for big investments in the United States. 'The E.U. will purchase $750 billion in U.S. energy and make new investments of $600 billion in the United States, all by 2028,' the document declared. But when the European Union released its own fact sheet on Tuesday, its description of that pledge was more muted — and far more noncommittal on spending outside of energy. 'E.U. companies have expressed interest in investing at least $600 billion' in 'various sectors in the U.S.,' the document explained. There's a reason for the equivocation: The European commitments are more like vague estimates than specific promises. The spending would come from private companies across the 27-nation bloc and would not be directed or enforced by European Union officials. The European Commission, the European Union's executive branch that is responsible for negotiating trade, can play a role in convening, organizing and encouraging big spending, but it cannot compel such outlays.

UK will recognize Palestinian state unless Israel agrees to cease-fire, allows UN aid into Gaza: PM
LONDON — The UK will recognize a Palestinian state in September unless Israel agrees to a cease-fire in Gaza, allows the UN to bring in aid and takes other steps toward long-term peace, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Tuesday. Starmer, who is under mounting domestic pressure over the issue as scenes of hunger in Gaza horrify many Britons, convened a rare summertime Cabinet meeting to discuss the situation in Gaza. It came after he discussed the crisis with President Donald Trump during a meeting in Scotland on Monday. The president told reporters he didn't mind Starmer 'taking a position' on statehood. 4 UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said his country will recognize Palestinian statehood in September unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire and allows the UN to bring aid into Gaza. Getty Images Starmer said Tuesday that Britain will recognize a state of Palestine before the United Nations General Assembly, 'unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza, agree to a cease-fire and commit to a long-term, sustainable peace, reviving the prospect of a two-state solution. 'And this includes allowing the UN to restart the supply of aid, and making clear there will be no annexations in the West Bank,' he said. It seems highly unlikely that the government of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu could meet the conditions, which cut to the heart of the most intractable issues in the conflict. Netanyahu rejects the two-state solution on both nationalistic and security grounds. Israel's foreign ministry said it rejected the British statement. 'The shift in the British government's position at this time, following the French move and internal political pressures, constitutes a reward for Hamas and harms efforts to achieve a cease-fire in Gaza and a framework for the release of hostages,' the ministry said on X. 4 Palestinians climbing onto trucks carrying aid in Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip on July 29, 2025. REUTERS Starmer also repeated UK demands that Hamas release all the hostages it holds, agree to a cease-fire, disarm and 'accept that they will play no part in the government of Gaza.' Starmer said in a televised statement that his government will assess in September 'how far the parties have met these steps' before making a final decision on recognition. Britain has long supported the idea of an independent Palestinian state existing alongside Israel, but has said recognition should come as part of a negotiated two-state solution to the conflict. 4 Palestinians carrying sacks of aid in Beit Lahia. REUTERS But Starmer said Tuesday Britain was willing to take the step because 'the very idea of a two-state solution is reducing and feels further away today than it has for many years.' He said that despite the set of conditions he set out, Britain believes that 'statehood is the inalienable right of the Palestinian people.' Pressure to formally recognize Palestinian statehood has mounted since French President Emmanuel Macron announced that his country will become the first major Western power to recognize a Palestinian state in September. More than 250 of the 650 lawmakers in the House of Commons have signed a letter urging the government to recognize a Palestinian state. 4 Palestinian mother Naima Abu Ful with her malnourished 2-year-old son Yazan at their home in the Shati refugee camp in Gaza City on July 23, 2025. AP Photo/Jehad Alshrafi More than 140 countries recognize a Palestinian state, including a dozen in Europe. Macron's announcement last week make France is the first Group of Seven country and the largest European nation to take that step. As with France, British recognition would be largely symbolic, but could increase diplomatic pressure for an end to the conflict – especially as Starmer appears to have the tacit approval of Trump. Britain has a particular historic role as the former governing power of what was then Palestine and author of the 1917 Balfour Declaration, which backed the establishment of a Jewish homeland. Foreign Secretary David Lammy said Britain bore a 'special burden of responsibility.' 'Our support for Israel, its right to exist, and the security of its people, is steadfast,' Lammy told a meeting at the UN in New York on Tuesday. 'However, the Balfour Declaration came with the solemn promise that nothing shall be done, nothing which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of the Palestinian people as well. And colleagues, this has not been upheld, and it is a historical injustice which continues to unfold.' France welcomed Britain's announcement. ″The United Kingdom is joining the momentum created by France for the recognition of the state of Palestine,' French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot posted on X.

UK plans to recognize Palestinian state in September unless Israel takes action
Britain said on Tuesday it would recognize a Palestinian state unless Israel takes steps to relieve suffering in Gaza, where starvation is spreading, and reaches a ceasefire in the nearly two-year war with Hamas. The warning came after a hunger monitor said a worst-case scenario of famine is unfolding and immediate action is needed to avoid widespread death. Palestinian authorities said more than 60,000 Palestinians were now confirmed killed by Israel's air and ground assault on the Gaza Strip. The hunger alert and the new death toll are grim milestones in a conflict that began almost two years ago when Hamas attacked Israel, sparking an offensive that has flattened much of the enclave and ignited hostilities across the Middle East. The alert by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) raised the prospect that the man-made starvation crisis in Gaza could be formally classified as a famine, in the hope that this might raise the pressure on Israel to let in far more food. Britain's warning heightens pressure on Israel amid an international outcry over its conduct of the war. France announced it would recognise Palestinian statehood last week in a move that enraged the Israeli government. Israel dismissed Britain's announcement as a "reward" for Hamas. Prime Minister Keir Starmer told his cabinet on Tuesday that Britain would follow suit at the United Nations General Assembly in September "unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza, reaches a ceasefire, makes clear there will be no annexation in the West Bank, and commits to a long-term peace process that delivers a two-state solution," his government said. The move, if carried through, would be mostly symbolic, with Israel occupying the territories where the Palestinians have long aimed to establish that state in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip with East Jerusalem as its capital. It makes Israel appear more isolated on the international stage as a growing number of countries call for it to allow unfettered aid into Gaza, where it controls all entry and exit points to the besieged coastal territory. However, U.S. President Donald Trump's administration - Israel's closest and most influential ally - has made clear it has no intention of joining others in recognising Palestinian statehood anytime soon. Since returning to office in January, Trump has left it unclear whether he would support an eventual Palestinian state. Trump said on Tuesday he and Starmer did not discuss Britain's proposal to recognise a Palestinian state when the two held talks in Scotland over the weekend. Trump told reporters at the time he did "not mind" if Britain did so. With the international furor over Gaza's ordeal growing, Israel announced steps over the weekend to ease aid access. But the U.N. World Food Programme said on Tuesday it was not getting the permissions it needed to deliver enough aid since Israel began humanitarian pauses in warfare on Sunday. "Mounting evidence shows that widespread starvation, malnutrition and disease are driving a rise in hunger-related deaths," the IPC said, adding that "famine thresholds" have been reached for food consumption in most of Gaza. It said it would quickly carry out the formal analysis that could allow it to classify Gaza as "in famine". Gaza health authorities have been reporting more and more people dying from hunger-related causes. The total stands at 147, among them 88 children, most of whom died in the last few weeks. Images of emaciated Palestinian children have shocked the world, with Israel's strongest ally Trump declaring that many people were starving. He promised to set up new "food centres". Israel has denied pursuing a policy of starvation. Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said on Tuesday that the situation in Gaza was "tough" but there were lies about starvation there. The Gazan casualty figures, which are often cited by the U.N. and have previously been described as reliable by the World Health Organisation, underline the war as the deadliest involving Israel since its establishment in 1948. Israel launched its offensive in response to Hamas' cross-border attack on October 7, 2023, when militants killed some 1,200 people and took another 251 hostage - Israel's deadliest ever day. Since Israel launched ground operations in Gaza in October 2023, 454 soldiers have been killed. The new Palestinian toll does not distinguish between fighters and civilians. Thousands more bodies are believed to be buried under rubble, meaning the true toll is likely to be significantly higher, Palestinian officials and rescue workers say. Israeli airstrikes overnight killed at least 30 Palestinians in Nuseirat camp in central Gaza, Gaza health authorities said. Doctors at Al-Awda Hospital said at least 14 women and 12 children were among the dead. The hospital also said that 13 people had been killed and dozens wounded by Israeli gunfire along the Salahudeen Road as they waited for aid trucks to roll into Gaza. Saar said 5,000 aid trucks had entered Gaza in the last two months, and that Israel would assist those wanting to conduct airdrops - a delivery method that aid groups say is ineffective and tokenist. Ross Smith, a senior regional program adviser at the World Food Programme, told reporters in Geneva by video: "We're getting approximately 50% of what we're requesting into Gaza since these humanitarian pauses started on Sunday. "We are not going to be able to address the needs of the population unless we can move in the volume that we need." Israel and the U.S. accuse Hamas of stealing aid - which the militants deny - and the U.N. of failing to prevent it. The U.N. says it has not seen evidence of Hamas diverting much aid. Hamas accuses Israel of causing starvation and using aid as a weapon.
