US President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced on Thursday a groundbreaking trade agreement with Britain, the first such arrangement since the implementation of global tariffs.“This morning I am thrilled to announce that we have reached a trade deal with the UK. Today is the Victory Day for World War 2, we won the together exactly 80 years ago, so there could be no more perfect morning to reach this historic agreement,” Trump declared during a White House press briefing.During simultaneous press conferences in Britain and Washington, Keir Starmer joined Trump via video link at the White House, describing the US-UK trade agreement as “a really fantastic, historic day.”The agreement emphasises the importance of reciprocity and fairness in international trade relations and enhances access for American agricultural products, according to Trump, although he indicated that the final documentation was still in progress.“The final details are being written up,” Trump stated in the Oval Office. “In the coming weeks, we’ll have it all very conclusive,” he continued. He also noted that the agreement would streamline the passage of American goods through British customs.The last meeting between Starmer and Trump occurred during a White House visit in February.
