President Trump will conclude his four-day trip to his ancestral homeland of Scotland on Tuesday.

The final engagement on Trump’s official schedule before his return is the opening of a new golf course, in memory of his late mother, in Aberdeen on the east coast of Scotland.

That’s a fitting conclusion to a trip that has included some Trump brand promotion in addition to official business.

But it’s not as if the news has stopped during Trump’s Scottish sojourn.

Here are the five biggest takeaways.

US gets the better of a trade deal with the European Union

The announcement of a trade deal with the EU was plainly the biggest substantive moment from the trip.

Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen put the finishing touches to the agreement Sunday, meeting at Trump’s other Scottish golf course at Turnberry.

There was still some vagueness around specifics, but the basic gist of the deal is that European imports to the U.S. will mostly be tariffed at 15 percent.

From the EU’s perspective, the main selling point in such a deal is that it saves the bloc from the 30 percent tariff rate that would have kicked in this Friday in the absence of a new agreement.

However, the 15 percent tariff rate is higher than the 10 percent United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer helped negotiate for his nation in May; higher than was previously the case; and largely unleavened by any major concessions from the American side.

It’s no surprise, then, that the deal has got an adverse reaction from many commentators in Europe, who accuse their leaders of selling the continent short.

But Trump doesn’t care much........
