LIVE: Donald Trump Announces US-UK Trade Deal At The White House
President Trump is expected to confirm the UK-US trade deal later on Thursday afternoon. READ MORE: https://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/... The agreement would be the first deal reached since Trump announced global tariffs last month on what he called “Liberation Day”. Britain was hit with a 10 per cent overall tariff — the lowest level imposed — as well as a general 25 per cent tariff on steel, aluminium and cars. Talks between the US and UK have been intensifying over recent months. Sir Keir Starmer discussed the possible deal when he met the US president at the White House in February. Rachel Reeves, the chancellor, met with the US Treasury secretary Scott Bessent in April, and said that the government had been “working flat out” to get a deal over the line. It comes after the UK’s announcement of a trade deal with India on Tuesday. Sir Keir Starmer will provide an update on US trade talks “later today”, a Downing Street spokeswoman said. She added that the talks have been “continuing at pace”. “The prime minister will always act in Britain’s national interest — for workers, for business, for families,” the spokeswoman said. “The United States is an indispensable ally for both our economic and national security. Talks on a deal between our countries have been continuing at pace and the prime minister will update later today.” Read the best of our journalism: https://www.thetimes.com/ Subscribe to The Times and The Sunday Times YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/subscription_...
