'So good for both countries': Trump touts new UK trade pact

President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a reciprocal trade agreement on May 8, 2025, to reduce tariffs between both countries.
The agreement followed Trump's April 2 announcement of broad tariffs on over 70 countries, then paused for 90 days to allow negotiations with allies including the UK.
The deal lowers tariffs on British automobiles up to 10% from 25%, creates a steel and aluminum trade zone, and expands US market access for agricultural and industrial products.
Trump called this deal the "first in a series of agreements," citing $6 billion in external revenue and $5 billion in new US export opportunities as key benefits.
The agreement signals closer US-UK economic and security ties, but experts note that high baseline tariffs remain and full details are still being finalized over upcoming weeks.
