Before the presidential motorcade left for his Turnberry resort in South Ayrshire, where he is expected to play golf on Saturday, Trump spoke with journalists. "I like your prime minister," he said of Sir Keir Starmer, whom he is scheduled to meet on Monday. You probably already know that he is a good man despite being slightly more liberal than I am. He concluded a trade agreement. "You know, they've worked on this deal for 12 years, he got it done - that's a good deal, it's a good deal for the UK," Trump continued. Additionally, the president stated that he was eager to meet Scotland's First Minister John Swinney and called him "a good man." Swinney has said that he will "basically speak out for Scotland." 0:26
