President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer revealed a “historic” trade agreement which will ultimately deepen the ties between the two allies, and will reinforce America’s spot on the geopolitical stage, all on the 80th anniversary of Victory Day.
Guys, I don’t know about you, but I’m loving all the winning from this current administration. There’s so much egg on the faces of Trump’s opposition, and it’s only a little over a hundred days into his presidency.
Of course, leftist knuckleheads are only doubling down on their idiocy instead of admitting they were wrong, so deeply rooted is the Trump Derangement Syndrome in their addled brains.
“While early reports of a deal had swirled for days, Thursday’s announcement made it official: American exporters—especially in agriculture, aerospace, and pharmaceuticals—will gain unprecedented access to UK markets, with new rules aimed at streamlining trade, reducing tariffs, and protecting U.S. supply chains,” Trending Politics News reported.
“This is a great deal for America,” Trump said of the deal. “The deal includes billions of dollars of increased market access for American exports, especially in agriculture, dramatically increasing access for American beef, ethanol, and virtually all of the products produced by our great farmers.”
The agreement represents a major win for U.S. farmers and ranchers, opening up more than $5 billion in new export opportunities. That includes over $700 million in ethanol exports and another $250 million in beef and related agricultural goods. Trump stressed the elimination of non-tariff barriers that he said had unfairly discriminated against American products for years.
The trade pact also secures streamlined customs procedures and levels the playing field in public procurement, granting American firms greater competitiveness in UK government contracts. The deal includes strong protections for intellectual property and labor, and it creates a preferential framework for aerospace manufacturers and pharmaceutical suppliers to ensure resilient supply chains for critical industries.
Starmer framed the deal as a job creator on both sides of the Atlantic. “This is going to boost trade between and across our countries,” he said. “It’s going to not only protect jobs, but create jobs, opening market access.”
Part of the arrangement the UK agreed to was to reduce or eliminate tariffs that had gone as high as 125 percent on dairy and meat imported from the United States. The U.S. will implement a revised tariff plan for automobiles from Britain. The first 100,000 vehicles imported to the U.S. yearly will have a tariff of 10 percent, while vehicles over that number will have a rate of 25 percent.
The deal also includes the foundation of a new “trading union” for steel and aluminum, a measure aimed at combating global overcapacity while facilitating U.S.-UK industrial trade. Trump noted that negotiations are already underway to replace Section 232 tariffs on UK steel and aluminum with an alternative agreement. According to White House fact sheets, the UK was previously designated by the UN as a “Most Favored Nation” trading partner, yet it continued to impose high barriers on U.S. products. President Trump had long criticized these arrangements as one-sided and harmful to American producers, and said the agreement marks a decisive break from past policy.
The announcement comes on the heels of another U.S. trade pact with India and ahead of tense negotiations with China in Switzerland. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the Chinese economy is feeling the strain of 145% tariffs and warned Beijing of continued pressure unless concessions are made.
Officials within the Trump administration referred to the agreement as a major milestone in the president’s America First agenda, saying it’s a framework for future deals with other countries that are looking to negotiate fair terms with D.C.
