Live – President Trump Seals Major US Trade Deal With UK
The US president, Donald Trump said: “Because of our long-time history and allegiance together, it is a great honour to have the United Kingdom as our FIRST announcement. Many other deals, which are in serious stages of negotiation, to follow!”
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer says “this is a really fantastic,historic day.” This as UK and US agree trade deal. Starmer added the deal is a tribute to UK-US history.
The deal was sealed via a two-way phone conversation between the two leaders.
The UK has got there first – a significant achievement by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and his government.
America’s trade deficit widened to a record high in March as businesses boosted imports of goods before the introduction of tariffs, dragging gross domestic product into negative terrain in the first quarter for the first time in three years.
The trade gap jumped 14.0 per cent to a record $140.5 billion from a revised $123.2 billion in February, according to the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis.
Those close to the talks have been saying for some time that the shape of a deal was basically there, but that it was never quite clear when and whether the maverick president might sign off on what his negotiating team had thrashed out.
