Trump signed a trade deal with PM Starmer [View all]
And I hate it because it's clearly a mafia-style agreement. GRRR -- From the BBC:
Here are some points listed in the agreement, which was shared by the White House.
The US will create an annual quota of 100,000 vehicle imports from the UK. These will have a 10% tariff. The two allies committed to "strengthen aerospace and aircraft manufacturing supply chains" by establishing tariff-free trade for certain aerospace products
If the UK meets certain requirements, the US will create a "a quota at most-favoured-nation rates for steel and aluminium articles" imported from the UK.
In response to a question about future tariffs, Trump says that the UK is "very well protected".
"You know why? Because I like them," Trump said, and Starmer laughed.
The president tells the press that Starmer has done a great job by achieving a trade deal his predecessors had been trying to do for six years.
The press conference concluded with the two walking off together.
