Trump Announces First 'Full and Comprehensive' Trade Deal With UK Amid Global Tariffs

President Donald Trump announced a new trade deal with the United Kingdom, marking the first such agreement since the imposition of global tariffs last month. The deal, described by Trump as 'full and comprehensive,' aims to strengthen the relationship between the two nations for years to come. It includes maintaining a 10% tariff on U.K. imports, with specific commitments on steel and cars, while further negotiations are expected in pharmaceuticals and agriculture sectors.

The announcement was made via Truth Social and followed by a press conference at the White House. Trump highlighted the historical ties and allegiance between the U.S. and the U.K., emphasizing that this deal is the first of many expected agreements. The U.K. has agreed to concessions on its digital services tax and food standards, following its recent trade agreement with India.
