US EditionWhat Trump’s agreement with the U.K. suggests about trade talks with Canada
- On Thursday, May 8, 2025, in Washington, U.S. President Donald Trump and U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer revealed details of a preliminary trade agreement between their nations.
- The deal follows Trump's wider tariff campaign launched in April and aims to address global trade concerns amid ongoing negotiations.
- Key aspects of the agreement include removing tariffs on steel and aluminum, keeping a standard 10 percent duty on most imports from the U.K., and lowering auto tariffs to 10 percent but only for up to 100,000 vehicles annually.
- Trump called the agreement a 'first in a series of agreements,' while experts like Fen Osler Hampson say it shows the administration's willingness to negotiate but not to fully eliminate tariffs.
- This deal signals potential U.S. Trade approaches with Canada, where talks continue amid existing tariffs and a pending CUSMA review, though some tariffs on Canadian goods may remain.
