WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States and Britain are expected to announce a trade deal on Thursday that will lower the burden of President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs and potentially deliver a political victory for Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Trump said on Wednesday that he would announce a “major trade deal” with a “big, highly respected country,” which he did not identify. A U.S. official confirmed the country was Britain, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss talks before an announcement.
Starmer’s office said the prime minister would give an “update” about U.S. trade talks later in the day.
“As you know, talks with the U.S. have been ongoing and you’ll hear more from me about that later today.” Starmer said at a defense conference in London.
