Trump: Reached breakthrough deal with UK

May 8, 2025 4:58 pm

Donald Trump is not known for underselling. Here are some of the details:

  • UK has committed to fast-tracking US goods imports
  • Agreement increases access for beef and ethanol
  • UK will reduce non-tariff barriers
  • Final details will be written up in the coming weeks
  • I think China wants to make a deal very badly too
  • We’re going to be ‘un-easing’ steel, want protections for steel
  • US-UK trade deal will eald to the creation of an aluminum and steel trading zone and a secure pharma supply chain

There isn’t much meat on these bones.

Starmer:

  • Deal will boost trade and create jobs
  • Says the deal is ‘a tribute to your leadership’ to Trump

The groveling from Starmer was really something.

Lutnick is highlighting that the 10% tariff will remain and that the UK tariffs will raise $6 billion in revenue.

  • UK will announce it is going to buy $10 billion in Boeing planes today, won’t name airline

Lutnick talked about creating a secure supply chain in things like steel and pharma. That could be a positive sign.
