Trump sees 50:50 chance
Before the departure to Scotland, Trump had estimated the chances of agreement with the EU to 50 percent. “I would say that we have a 50:50 chance, maybe even less, but a 50:50 chance to achieve a deal with the EU,” said the Republican to journalists. Moments later he pushed: “I think the EU has pretty good chances of reaching an agreement.”
