Speaking at a press conference after a meeting between the two leaders at the US President’s golf course in Ayrshire, Trump was asked about the UK- US trade deal and the potential [[benefits]] for Scotland.

A journalist asked: “Because of your love of Scotland, is there a better trade deal to be done for Scottish businesses like whiskey?”

He then said: “Well, I assume when we do our trade deal overall, a lot of it comes to Scotland.

“I hope maybe all of it should go.”

The Prime Minister then interrupted, saying: “It’s a very good deal for the whole United Kingdom and we have already achieved great things on the deal and we’ll achieve even more as we work together.”
