US President Donald Trump on Friday said there was a 50-50 chance or perhaps less that the United States would reach a trade agreement with the European Union, saying Brussels wanted to "make a deal very badly", Report informs via Reuters.

"We're working very diligently with Europe, the EU," Trump told reporters as he left the White House to head to Scotland for several days of golfing and bilateral meetings.

"I would say that we have a 50-50 chance, maybe less than that, but a 50-50 chance of making a deal with the EU."

Asked a second time about the prospects for an agreement, he said: "That's the big one right now ... I think the EU has a pretty good chance of making a deal right now."
