Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston. President Trump is wrapping up his four-day trip to Scotland. Today, he announced a trade deal with the European Union after meeting with EU leaders. NPR's Fatma al-Khassab reports that demonstrators turned out to protest his visit.
Protesters at this rally outside the US consulate in Edinburgh waved Palestinian flags and held signs that read, Scotland is already great. In Aberdeen, near the president's new golf course, a van plastered with a big photo of the president with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein circulated the city. Resident Bev Luke says Trump is not welcome.

It's not fun being in Gaza. We understand that. But we are doing our best, being creative, to distribute food to the people of Gaza.
Contrary to aid agencies and NPR and others reporting on the ground, Defrin said there is no starvation in Gaza. He claimed most pictures showing starvation are Hamas propaganda fakes. Eleanor Beardsley, NPR News, Gaza.

Emergency crews are working to contain a fast-moving wildfire on the north rim of the Grand Canyon. Officials say the blaze is being driven by record dryness and gusty winds. Humidity has dropped to around 10 percent, and 25-mile-an-hour winds have created explosive growth on the heavily wooded north rim of the national park.
