Starmer's UK secures trade deal with Trump's US
bbc.com —
The UK has secured a significant trade deal with the US under President Trump, marking a major achievement for Prime Minister Keir Starmer. This agreement comes after the UK finalized a free trade agreement with India. The deal, expected to reduce tariffs on specific goods, follows Trump's imposition of global tariffs. The UK-India agreement is projected to boost trade and GDP. The US is the UK's top trading partner, with the UK seeking reduced tariffs on steel and cars. The announcement, which surprised the UK, is seen as a political win for Starmer. Opposition parties are calling for parliamentary scrutiny of the deal, while the Conservatives welcome the deal as a Brexit benefit.
