Turning to reporters, Trump describes the relationship between the US and UK as "unparalleled".

A reporter asks Trump about the situation in Gaza, to which he says the US has "given a lot of money" and food to Gaza, claiming Hamas has stolen much of that.

Trump adds that the pair will be discussing the situation in Gaza during their meeting.

"We're very much involved and I think that's one of the main reasons for our meeting," Trump says.

After arriving at Turnberry a bit later than expected, Starmer, accompanied by his wife Victoria, is now shaking hands with President Trump, to the tune of bagpipes being played live in the background.

The two look happy as they prepare to head inside the hotel for bilateral talks.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's motorcade has just arrived at Trump's Turnberry resort in Ayrshire. The two leaders are set for a bilateral meeting, which is expected to touch on a wide range of topics, from trade to the hunger crisis in Gaza.

Bagpipes marking the occasion can be heard outside the resort. We'll bring you the key moments right here, but you can also follow along by tapping watch live at the top of the page.

When Donald Trump arrives in Aberdeenshire we can expect him to mention one topic that particularly exercises him each time he visits Scotland: windmills.

He is furious about offshore wind turbines that are visible from his Turnberry golf course and loom even larger over his course in Menie.

Yesterday, as he was about to discuss the world’s biggest trade deal with Ursula von der Leyen in Turnberry, he gave an impassioned rant about how ugly he thinks the windmills are. Claiming that they are noisy, too expensive, and not environmentally friendly, because you cannot bury decommissioned turbines.

Not only do they kill birds, he said, they are also driving whales crazy, causing them to beach themselves on the shores of Massachusetts.

He may well have more to say when he is reminded of how they dominate the view over his original Scottish property

The small and picturesque village of Turnberry on Scotland's west coast is quite possibly the most fortified village in the world right now.

In amongst the green fields and quaint houses, a sea of police officers in high vis jackets. Surrounding the golf course owned by Donald Trump, a steel fence, nearby are police snipers dressed in black, on risers.

Nothing is left to chance when the president of the United States - who survived two attempts on his life - is here.

As Prime Minister Keir Starmer makes the journey here to meet President Trump, a slightly unconventional dynamic: an American president is the one hosting the British PM, on British soil.

There's a lot to discuss. Gaza, trade and Ukraine are on the agenda.

As we wait for Starmer to meet Trump, let's take a look at how markets are responding to the EU-US deal struck last night.

Shares in European brewers and distillers have dipped on uncertainty around the tariff deal announced today, with Diageo, the world's largest spirits maker and the owner of Guinness, falling 0.25% in mid-morning trading, while Pernod Ricard, which owns Absolut Vodka and Beefeater gin, was down 1.39%.

At last night's press conference, external, Ursula von der Leyen wasn't able to give much clarity around whether beer, spirits and wine are included in "zero for zero" exemptions to the tariffs, saying only that it "this is something which has to be sorted out in the next days".

You can see why investors aren't keen on the uncertainty: according to Reuters, external, the US market accounts for 18% of exports of champagne from France and 43% of cognac exports. It also takes about a quarter of Italian wines and a third of Irish whiskey.

Verushka Shetty, equity analyst at Morningstar, says distillers "often get caught in the crossfire of trade wars" - although she adds that they now "have a proven record of successfully mitigating tariff hikes".

We’re awaiting the arrival of the prime minister here outside Trump Turnberry. There’s been a noticeable increase in the police presence in the past few minutes and camera crews have been gradually assembling.

There’s a horse peeking through the fence next to our live position, curious about what the fuss is all about!

His cases are being packed and - after meeting Keir Starmer in Ayrshire - soon the US president and the UK PM will relocate 150 miles (241km) north-east to the oil capital of Europe.

Donald Trump seems unable to mention Aberdeen without referencing its main industry and has repeatedly demanded they "get rid of the windmills and bring back the oil."

Let's break that down. Firstly, there are no windmills in the North Sea. Windmills mill, usually flour. These wind turbines generate electricity.

To "bring back the oil" would require growth. Nobody's predicting that can happen in the North Sea, however favourable the government. Output has been in decline for a quarter of a century, through three Labour prime ministers and five Conservatives.

The reason for the decline is cold, hard geology. The oil is running out. In the best-case scenario, the industry predicts that decline will be at 5% a year.

What oil companies argue is that the Labour policy of no new licences will accelerate that decline by a few percentage points each year.

The energy sector needs wind - and other alternatives energies - to replace the jobs which are already being lost in oil and gas and while they'd love more support for fossil fuels, they definitely wouldn't turn their back on green energy.

The high level of security around Turnberry for Donald Trump’s visit has been well publicised and is in clear operation again as Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrives for his meeting with the US president.

There aren’t many roads in the area and those around the hotel are blocked off to all but a few vehicles.

Lots have been turned away from the main road through Turnberry, which has the golf course on one side and the hotel on the other, alongside some houses.

At one point over the weekend a potential "diplomatic incident" was avoided when a council bin lorry was held up by police at one of the road blocks.

It was eventually cleared to drive through and made it along a residential road for its fortnightly pick ups, which was surely for the best as blocking "bin day" collection would be a sure-fire way for the president to really upset the locals.

The reaction continues to come in following news yesterday that the EU and US have agreed on a trade deal. We want to know if - and how - it could affect you.

I'm at the edge of the security zone at Balmedie beach in Aberdeenshire, in place for President Trump’s arrival at his golf resort.

The wind farms he was so angry about are in the distance - with, presumably, World War Two tank traps in the foreground. Snipers can be seen nearby.

The atmosphere’s pretty relaxed at the moment, but things will change when he’s here later today.

Steel industry still faces uncertainty following June's UK-US trade dealpublished at 11:03 British Summer Time 28 July

It is almost three months since the UK and the US announced their own agreement on tariffs. It came into force at the end of June. But the steel sector in particular still faces deep uncertainty.

Under the deal, most goods sent from the UK to the United States became subject to a basic 10% tariff, or import tax - with some sectors still facing additional levies on top of that.

Although in most cases exporters still have to cope with higher costs than before President Trump came to power, the agreement does protect them from the full impact of changes announced by Washington.

The car industry, for example, had been facing tariffs of 27.5%. It now has a quota of 100,000 vehicles per year which will only attract a levy of 10%.

Aircraft engines and other aerospace parts can be sent to the US tariff free - a vital concession for a significant UK industry.

But the US has yet to agree reduced tariffs for imports of UK steel and aluminium, which currently face a 25% levy, despite previously suggesting it would do so.

For the UK’s specialist steel firms, this has been a source of deep frustration.

If they ship goods to the US now, there could be hefty tariffs applied at the border. If they wait, those levies could be reduced. But that is far from certain, and in the meantime, their clients could lose patience and buy what they need elsewhere.

So while the prime minister has the president’s full attention today, he may well be asking for these uncertainties to be addressed once and for all.

We've just seen Prime Minister Keir Starmer's plane touch down at Glasgow's Prestwick Airport.

He will be greeted by the US president when he arrives at Trump's Turnberry golf course in Ayrshire, a 40-minute drive away.

We'll be keeping an eye on the coming meeting between the two leaders - stick with us here and we'll bring you the latest.

Romanian Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan "salutes" the trade deal between the EU and the US, the government press office tells Reuters.

"Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan salutes that a trade agreement was reached and... feels it is a good omen," the press office says.

"First of all, beyond customs tax levels, it eliminates present unclearness which caused disruptions and uncertainties in transatlantic trade relations."

The EU-US deal has been welcomed by the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) for "avoiding an escalation in damaging tariffs".

“The agreement takes an important step towards easing the intense uncertainty surrounding transatlantic trade relations in recent months, and ACEA welcomes this development in principle", says Director General Sigrid de Vries.

"Nevertheless, the US will retain higher tariffs on automobiles and automotive parts, and this will continue to have a negative impact not just for industry in the EU but also in the US", she says.

French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou has said the EU-US deal - which he calls the "Van der Leyen-Trump agreement" marks a "sombre day". (Ursula von der Leyen's name was misspelled in Bayrou's message).

"It is a sombre day when an alliance of free peoples, brought together to affirm their common values and defend their interests, gives in to submission," Bayrou said on X.

Earlier today, France's minister for Europe Benjamin Haddad had called the agreement "unbalanced" and accused Trump of "choosing economic coercion" and disregarding WTO rules. Industry minister Marc Ferracci was lukewarm on the deal too, but said it at least brought "stability".

In May, the UK and US struck a deal, which saw Trump reduce tariffs on some British goods entering the US.

Trump lowered a previously imposed tariff on UK cars and automotive parts, cut to 10% from 25% on a maximum of 100,000 cars. Any cars exported above the quota will be subject to a 27.5% tax.

Steel and aluminium tariffs were a major part of the original tariff deal, but the details have yet to be ironed out. Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds told the BBC this morning this will be a part of discussions today.

The pharmaceutical sector also is a big unknown, as work continues in the background.

There was no change to the UK's 2% digital services tax in the original deal, and this has been seen as a sticking point.

US beef exports to the UK had been subject to a 20% tariff within a quota of 1,000 metric tonnes. The UK has scrapped this tariff and raised the quota to 13,000 metric tonnes, according to a White House document.

In return, the UK has been given the same quota at a lower rate in line with other countries.

Trump's blanket 10% tariff still remains on most UK items.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has signalled her tentative support for the EU-US deal - but adds she still needs to "look into the details".

"I consider it positive that there is an agreement, but if I don't see the details I am not able to judge it in the best way," she tells Reuters news agency on the sidelines of a meeting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

She describes the 15% tariff as "sustainable, especially if this percentage is not added to previous duties, as was originally planned".

She says both individual nation states and the EU as a whole would have to provide support for sectors that may be "particularly affected" by the new levies.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen made a quick trip to Scotland on Sunday, meeting with Trump at his Turnberry golf resort.

The pair had a short meeting before announcing they had struck a trade deal.

They agreed a US tariff on most EU goods of 15%, half of what Trump had threatened to implement from Friday.

Some goods will not attract any tariffs, including aircraft and plane parts, certain chemicals and some agricultural products.

One key area where a deal is yet to be struck is alcohol, with France and the Netherlands in particular seeking tariff exemptions for their respective wine and beer industries.

Von der Leyen welcomed the deal, which she said would bring both allies "stability". Trump added that the deal was "going to bring us closer together".

The 50% tariff on steel and aluminium globally remains in place.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen welcomed the "huge deal" last night - but not all EU members are happy.

Speaking on a podcast this morning, Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban says the deal signed on Sunday by the EU is worse than the US-UK deal agreed in May.

"This is not an agreement... Donald Trump ate von der Leyen for breakfast, this is what happened and we suspected this would happen," Orban says.

"The US president is a heavyweight when it comes to negotiations while Madame President is featherweight."

Orban has long been at odds with the EU's leadership - and recently threatened to block a new EU budget, unless it suspended EU funds were unlocked.

We'll have more reaction from EU industry and member states soon.
