British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to meet U.S. President Donald Trump in Scotland this month, a source with knowledge of the arrangement confirmed on Thursday.

It's reported that Prime Minister Keir Starmer has accepted an invitation to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump during Trump's expected visit to Scotland in July.

While an exact date has yet to be finalised, preparations for the meeting are underway. Scottish police acknowledged on Wednesday that they were preparing for a potential visit by the U.S. president, which would mark Trump's first trip to the United Kingdom since last year's U.S. election.

The White House has not issued an official comment regarding the visit.

The two leaders have reportedly built a positive rapport over recent months. Last month, they signed a trade agreement during the G7 summit, easing U.S. tariffs on certain British imports. This followed a meeting at The White House in February, where Starmer received a warm welcome and President Trump accepted an invitation from King Charles III for a future state visit.

UK media have also reported that Trump plans to visit his golf courses in Scotland, with stops at both Turnberry and Aberdeenshire.
