Donald Trump said he was "not in a good mood" as he sat down with Ursula von der Leyen at the top of a bilateral meeting in Scotland. It comes as the European Commission President has been accused of 'gate-crashing' Trump's golfing weekendbefore he meets Keir Starmer on Monday.
It was put to him by journalists that he seemed in a good mood as he was questioned about the likelihood of the US and EU striking a trade deal. The US President replied: "I'm actually not in a good mood, but I will tell you I think the chances are, yeah, I think Ursula would say, probably 50-50, of making a deal. I'd like to make a deal, I think it's good for both, but yeah, I'd say 50-50."
He said there were "three or four sticking points that I'd rather not get in(to)" before his talks with the President of the European Commission. Ms von der Leyen's visit to the UK to meet with President Trump has raised some eyebrows as the bilateral talks were not on any official schedule.

Asked why he was in a bad mood and whether it was related to his day playing golf, Mr Trump said: "No, the golf was beautiful. Golf can never be bad... But no, I think I look forward to this meeting. You know, we've had a hard time with trade with Europe, very hard time, and I'd like to see it resolved. But if it isn't we'll, you know, have tariffs."
He said: "We'll probably know in about an hour whether a deal can be struck."
A trade agreement between the US and the EU would be "bigger than any other deal", Mr Trump said.
If trade negotiations between the US and Europe do not succeed it could see the Bloc slapped with 30% tariffs on EU goods, with Brussels threatening to respond in kind.
At present, Washington has a blanket 10% tariff on imports from countries around the world.
"This is the biggest deal. People don't realise. This is bigger than other deal," he said to journalists gathered in Scotland at the top of his bilateral meeting with EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
"We have great countries, great countries, I'm familiar with many of them, so are you, and this is really the biggest deal.
"I guess we're the biggest out there, and they're the second, and when we come together, this will be the biggest deal, if that happens, and it could happen, should happen."
Mr Trump is due to meet Sir Keir Starmer on Monday for talks around the UK-US trade deal, as well as the ongoing crisis in Gaza. The US leader did not say whether he believed there was no point trying to restart ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas.
It was put to him that the UK Prime Minister would ask him about negotiations between the two factions. Asked whether he was saying there was no point in trying to restart talks, the US president said: "We're meeting about a lot of things. We have our trade deal and it's been a great deal.
"It's good for us. It's good for them and good for us. I think the UK is very happy, they've been trying for 12 years to get it and they got it, and it's a great trade deal for both, works out very well.
"We'll be discussing that. I think we're going to be discussing a lot about Israel. They're very much involved in terms of wanting something to happen. He's doing a very good job, by the way."
