President Trump will host Prime Minister Keir Starmer of Britain at his two golf courses in Scotland on Monday, the day after announcing a deal with the European Union designed to avoid a costly economic war with America’s biggest trading bloc. British officials said they expected the all-day agenda to include discussion of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the grinding war in Ukraine. Mr. Trump announced on Sunday that Europe had agreed to tariffs of 15 percent on automobiles and most other E.U. The tariffs are higher than the 10 percent duty on most British goods that Britain, which is not in the European Union, agreed to in a deal that Mr. Starmer and Mr. Trump struck in May. The 27-nation bloc also agreed to buy $750 billion worth of U.S. energy and invest $600 billion in the United States, Mr. Trump said.
