President Trump flew to Scotland for a multi-day trip, played some golf, and emerged with a significant trade deal with the European Union. They’re not happy about it, but it’s done.

“He's been issuing many threats of tariffs, but they clearly have been working," said Zeleny.
There has been no economic Armageddon; prices have not spiked, and inflation remains lower than at any point under the Biden presidency.
