Donald Trump has held not one but two lengthy and freewheeling press Q&As on his visit to Scotland, both of them in the company of a notably less voluble Keir Starmer.

Rambler in chief All the president's opinions - condensed

Here are some takeaways from Trump's many, many opinions.

For all his talk about halting six wars - it was not clear what at least two of these were - you could sense Trump's frustration at the lack of progress in both Ukraine and Gaza.

As well as hinting at a swift imposition of sanctions in Russia, Trump said he was "not so interested in talking any more" with the Russian leader.

With Benjamin Netanyahu, the tone was less openly aggrieved, but Trump made it clear that a different approach was needed given the starvation of many in Gaza. "I want to make sure they get the food, every ounce of food," he said.

Even though Trump and Starmer brandished a newly signed trade deal the last time they met, at the G7 summit in Canada in June, there were numerous issues on tariffs and market access still to be decided, and Trump did not seem in the mood for giving way.
