Terence Corcoran: Elbows up for a trade deal by anti-free-traders
- On Thursday, May 8, 2025, President Donald Trump officially announced a new trade agreement linking the United States with the United Kingdom from the White House.
- The deal followed U.S. Tariffs on many countries and aimed to reduce trade barriers, with the U.K. Lowering non-tariff obstacles to American products like beef, ethanol, machinery, and chemicals.
- The agreement lowers duties on British vehicles from 25% to a 10% baseline matching U.S. Tariffs, enhances national security through a new steel and aluminum trading zone, and improves British customs processing of U.S. Exports.
- The deal creates $6 billion in external revenue from tariffs and opens $5 billion in new export opportunities for American farmers and producers, with Trump calling it the 'first, historic Trade Deal since Liberation Day.'
- This agreement signals strengthened U.S.-U.K. Trade relations and sets a precedent for future deals, as the final version is still being completed and Trump plans talks with the EU and China.
