President Donald Trump on Monday marked the signing of a new trade deal with the United Kingdom at the G-7 summit in Canada — but the announcement with Prime Minister Keir Starmer quickly went off the rails. As Trump announced they had “just signed a document” the papers slipped from his folder and fell to the ground.
Donald Trump has signed a trade agreement with the UK that will slash tariffs on goods from both countries but does not include an agreement on steel.
Under the new terms, UK car exports to the US will face a reduced tariff of 10%, down sharply from the previous rate of 27.5%. The aerospace sector will enjoy even greater relief, with tariffs on British exports such as aircraft engines and parts eliminated entirely.
