Trump set to announce UK-US trade deal

Washington Dc

President Donald Trump has said he will soon announce a new trade agreement between the United States and the United Kingdom. Calling it a “comprehensive” deal, Trump shared the news on the social media site Truth Social, saying it would strengthen the historic relationship between the two nations.

He noted that this would be the first trade agreement under his leadership and called it a great honor to begin with the UK. Trump said many more trade deals were being negotiated and would follow soon. A press conference is planned for 10 a.m. at the Oval Office.

A UK official, speaking anonymously, confirmed the agreement but did not provide details. They only said the deal would benefit both countries. The New York Times reported that this announcement could mark a new phase of US-UK economic cooperation, especially after years of trade tension under Trump’s previous tariff policies.

Trade expert Timothy C. Brightbill said the announcement might just be a starting point. He believes the agreement outlines general issues to discuss in coming months. These include tariffs, trade rules, and digital trade—each with complicated challenges.

The deal is expected to boost both economies and is seen as a victory for stronger US-UK ties. The Trump administration had earlier imposed tariffs on various countries but paused some to allow talks. This UK agreement appears to be one result of those pauses.

Though full details remain unclear, the announcement could signal a new chapter in international trade for the US and the UK.
