Trump Announces 'Full' US-UK Trade Deal

News summary

US President Donald Trump has announced what he called a 'full and comprehensive' trade agreement with the UK, describing it as a historic move to strengthen bilateral ties and the first major US trade deal since imposing sweeping tariffs. The deal is intended to ease or reduce new US tariffs on UK exports, notably in steel, aluminium, and automobiles, though its exact scope is still uncertain. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer responded by pledging to protect national interests for workers and businesses, while reiterating that the UK will not lower food standards or weaken digital regulations. The announcement, made during VE Day commemorations, reportedly surprised UK officials, who also noted that it remains unclear whether the agreement is finalized or just a framework. Public sentiment in the UK remains skeptical, with widespread support for a parliamentary vote on the agreement. Analysts warn that the outcome could affect currency markets, especially if the US removes its 10% tariff.
