Desperate Trump announces weak UK trade 'deal' [View all]
Americans are struggling with price increases and economic uncertainty brought on by President Donald Trump’s tariffs, and the situation remains unchanged after Trump announced a supposed “deal” with the United Kingdom on Thursday.
“Together with our strong Ally, the United Kingdom, we have reached the first, historic Trade Deal since Liberation Day,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. In another post he characterized the announcement as “full and comprehensive.”
But almost immediately, Trump’s political spin began to fall apart when compared to the facts.
The “deal” will keep in place the blanket 10% tariffs that Trump imposed across the world with America’s trading partners, with exceptions for some luxury goods.
