UK’s James Roscoe to Newsmax: US, UK to Tighten Trade Deal on Trump’s Scotland Trip

James Roscoe, deputy head of mission at the British Embassy, told Newsmax on Friday that the United Kingdom will look to finalize unresolved elements of its trade deal with the United States, such as steel production, during President Donald Trump’s visit to Scotland July 25-29.
