UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and US President Donald Trump announced they had inked the deal at the Group of Seven Summit.
UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has said he rushed to pick up papers dropped by US President Donald Trump at the G7 Summit partly because he feared what the White House security team might do if anyone else tried to help.
The UK does not need to push out British Steel’s Chinese owners in order to cut a deal to reduce US tariffs on steel, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said.
The deal leaves intact Trump’s new 10% baseline tariffs, but allows limited exemptions from Trump’s 25% tariff on foreign-made cars and 50% tariffs on steel and aluminum.
