Trump Tries to Shift Focus With EU Deal — Melts Down When Asked About Epstein Files in Scotland
U.S President Donald Trump revealed what he called a “massive” new trade deal with the European Union — but the spotlight quickly shifted when a reporter asked about his long-rumored ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
The question ignited an instant reaction: “You’ve got to be kidding me.
No.
It had nothing to do with it.”
As Epstein headlines surge and scrutiny intensifies, Trump appears increasingly defensive.
Critics say the trade announcement was a distraction tactic.
Russia has lashed out at the new U.S.-EU trade agreement, with former President Dmitry Medvedev branding it a "total humiliation" for Europe. He accused the EU of surrendering economic sovereignty and adopting a "neo-Nazi ideology" that harms its own citizens. The deal, signed July 27, sees the EU committing to $750 billion in U.S. energy imports and $600 billion in investments, while partially avoiding U.S. tariffs. Medvedev warned the pact deepens European dependence and reflects anti-Russian intent.

U.S. President Donald Trump claims he helped stop tensions between Thailand and Cambodia by threatening to block U.S. trade deals. He compared the situation to his past involvement in easing India-Pakistan conflict, saying he called both Southeast Asian leaders and warned that no trade would happen unless peace was restored. Trump stated, “By the time I got off, I think they want to settle now.” He said using trade to stop wars is an honor, suggesting that economic leverage can be a powerful diplomatic tool when applied decisively.

As US President Donald Trump prepares for a bilateral meeting with UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer on July 28, a small but vocal group of British Trump supporters showed up at Turnberry Golf Course in Scotland with a stark warning: “Don’t trust Keir Starmer.” Waving American flags and holding bold placards, the group urged Trump to stay cautious ahead of crucial UK-US talks.

U.S President Trump refused to lower tariffs for the European Union, finalizing a major trade deal that locks in a flat 15% duty on most EU imports. When asked if he could offer a “better” rate, Trump snapped: “Better? Meaning lower? No.”
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was forced to smile through the awkward moment, securing zero tariff relief despite a last-minute scramble to strike a deal at Trump’s Turnberry resort in Scotland.
The EU, in return, agreed to $750 billion in U.S. energy purchases—but walked away with no concessions, no exemptions, and plenty of political pressure at home. Was this a win for stability or a one-sided surrender?

U.S President Donald Trump publicly humiliated European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen during a high-stakes trade announcement in Scotland. From mocking wind power — “Windmills are a scam!” — to refusing any EU tariff relief, Trump dominated the press conference, calling out Ursula for “not taking notes” and blasting the EU’s climate and immigration failures.
Despite the EU’s hopes for a softer deal, Trump slammed them with a 15% tariff, compared their policies to “a con job,” and left Ursula visibly stunned. With no concessions secured, the EU leader stood by awkwardly as Trump delivered blow after blow in front of a global audience.
