US EditionTrump Drops Trade Deal Papers and Calls the UK the EU
- Donald Trump and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer signed a UK-US trade deal at the G7 summit in Canada on Monday, during which Trump accidentally dropped the deal papers.

- Starmer quickly picked up the fallen documents due to strict security rules, and the agreement includes tariff cuts for carmakers and aerospace but leaves steel tariffs at 25% for now.

- The deal's implementation signals closer UK-US relations despite political differences, with ongoing work to reduce steel tariffs and optimism for further progress.
