Trump agrees to cut tariffs on UK autos, steel and aluminum in a planned trade deal with Britain
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump announced a trade agreement with the United Kingdom reducing tariffs on autos, steel, and aluminum in the Oval Office.
- The deal follows Britain's 2016 EU exit, which allowed the U.K. To negotiate an independent trade agreement after lengthy and difficult talks.
- The agreement cuts British car tariffs from 27.5% to 10% for up to 100,000 vehicles, removes U.S. Tariffs on steel and aluminum, and opens markets to U.S. Agricultural products.
- Prime Minister Keir Starmer described the occasion as a "historic day" marking the 80th anniversary of Victory Day and emphasized that the agreement would safeguard a significant number of automotive industry jobs.
- The agreement is expected to create up to $5 billion in new U.S. Exports and may serve as a model for future trade negotiations between the two nations.
