President Trump's trade deal with the United Kingdom marks a significant victory for his administration, aiming to eliminate 25% tariffs on UK aluminum and steel while maintaining a 10% baseline on other goods. The agreement facilitates greater access for US ethanol and beef in the UK market and streamlines customs for American products. Market reactions were positive, evidenced by the Dow's rise post-announcement. The urgency now lies in negotiating further trade agreements with various nations, particularly as the White House considers reducing high tariffs on China amidst concerns for small businesses.
President Donald Trump's freshly announced trade deal with the United Kingdom is a big win for the White House - one his team must expand by getting more agreements inked, pronto.
The deal will eliminate the 25% tariffs on UK aluminum and steel while keeping the baseline 10% tariffs on all other goods in place, opening up the UK market to US ethanol and beef.
That the United Kingdom, our No. 1 European trading partner, was the first to agree to a deal â and under the lefty Labour leader Keir Starmer, too â should encourage other nations to move forward.
Trump undoubtedly wants these agreements to yield big results for the United States, but delays thanks to nitpicking could produce a big bad result first.
