European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced that she is to meet with US President Donald Trump on Sunday in Scotland. The meeting would come days ahead of August 1, when Trump said we would impose tariffs of 30% on imports from the European Union for alleged trade imbalances.

Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission's president since 2019, is the first woman to hold the position. She was chosen by national leaders to lead the EU through difficult times, and the European Parliament elected her to a second five-year term.
