The United States and United Kingdom have reached a landmark trade agreement that significantly reduces tariffs on a range of British exports. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and President Donald TRUMP hailed the pact as a "historic day" for bilateral relations. The deal preserves thousands of UK jobs in automotive manufacturing, steel, and agriculture by lowering trade barriers.

Automotive exports stand to benefit most dramatically—US tariffs on British cars will drop from 27.5% to 10% for up to 100,000 vehicles annually. This quota nearly matches total UK automotive exports to the US last year, with Jaguar Land Rover positioned as a primary beneficiary. The agreement follows similar recent deals with India, signaling a broader realignment of US trade policy.
