Donald Trump announces an agreement with Great Britain

President Donald Trump said that the United States had a trade agreement with the United Kingdom, the first trading pact, since he had held mutual tariffs and negotiated with the countries with countries with countries.

“The agreement with the United Kingdom is a complete and comprehensive one that will consolidate the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom for many years,” Trump wrote on social media on May 8, after annoying the announcement in the night before without details. “Because of our long -term history and loyalty, it is a great honor to have the United Kingdom as the first announcement.”

Trump planned a press conference in the White House on May 8th at 10 a.m. to discuss the deal.

The President imposed mutual tariffs on a number of countries on April 2, but later paused most of them for 90 days and said that the leaders of these nations endeavor to negotiate trade agreements. Since then, the administrative officers have repeatedly said that they are about to do business.

Trump commented on the intensive interest in the trade agreement during a meeting on May 6th with the Canada Prime Minister.

“Everyone says: 'When, when, when will you sign shops?” Said Trump. “We do not have to sign offers. We could now sign 25 offers. If we wanted. We don't have to sign offers. You have to sign offers with us. You want a piece of our market.”

The president also expressed the constant questions. “I wish you would stop asking how many offers you sign this week,” he said.

The finance minister Scott Bessent informed the legislators in a committee hearing on May 6 that the business could soon be signed.

“I would think that we may already announce trade agreements this week with some of our biggest trading partners,” said Bessent.

There are 18 countries that Besser described as “large trading partners”. He said that negotiations started with everyone except China, but now talks between us and Chinese officials are planned.

Jamieson Greer, representative of Bessent and US trade, travel to Switzerland on May 8, where they will meet China's “leading representatives on business issues”.
