Trump Announces Trade Deal With UK, Lowering Barriers
Get caught up.
US President Donald Trump announced a trade framework with the UK today to bring down barriers and expand market access for American imports. Trump hailed the agreement as a “breakthrough,” though he said the final details of the pact would still be negotiated over the coming weeks.
It is the first agreement Trump has made since imposing tariffs on dozens of trading partners. Speaking at the White House, the President also said he intends to make a deal with the European Union and that he expects “substantive” talks with China.
