one A trade agreement between the United States and the United Kingdom will be announced later today.

Shared by President Donald Trump in an article on his social media platform, Truth Social Social, that a “full and comprehensive” agreement was reached between the two countries, adding: “Because of our long history and loyalty together, it is a great honor to be able to use the UK as our first announcement.”

Trump said more agreements (presumably with other countries) are in a "serious negotiation phase" and will be followed.

Although the agreement has not been formally enacted, a press conference on the matter is scheduled to be held in the Oval Office at 10 a.m. ET. Whether any trade documents will be signed today.

The trade deal comes after Trump imposed a 10% tariff on Britain earlier this year. Many countries were faced with higher charges when Trump announced what he called “reciprocal tariffs” in April. The UK is not subject to these higher tariffs because it buys more from the US than it sells. Then stop the mutual tariffs within 90 days. However, the UK still suffers a 25% tariff on all steel, aluminum, automobile and auto parts

Many UK businesses and leaders (especially within the automotive industry) may want the trade agreement to incur lower tariffs on the UK

According to a UK government source, Sky News reported that an agreement has been reached with the "terms agreement" in preliminary details and no full agreement has been reached.

Labour's British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer spoke at a defense meeting in London on Thursday morning. "The negotiations with the United States have been going on, and later today you will hear more about me," he assured. "But there is no doubt that for workers, businesses and families, I will always act in our national interest and provide security and renewal for our country."

British MPs have been responding to the news. Conservative member Mark Pritchard and Liberal Democrat Tim Farron both raised questions about the potential impact on agricultural standards and asked whether to protect British farmers.

In response, Agriculture Minister Steve Reed said: “We have red lines because British farmers are not allowed to be weakened in environmental or welfare standards.”

Trump Starmer: A brief history of their relationship

Since Trump's second term began as president, the two leaders seem to have built a positive relationship despite uncertainty over the methods of tariffs and conflict over the Ukrainian war.

Trump and Starmer met in the White House’s Oval Office shortly after Trump’s second term in February, a meeting widely regarded as a good start to their relationship as a shared world leader.

The British Prime Minister wrote to King Charles III the president's letter to invite Trump for a state visit, which is very grateful. Trump also called Starmer "a very difficult negotiator" as the two discussed the tariffs.

“In truly dangerous moments around the world, this relationship is more important than ever,” Steamer said of the UK-US relationship, adding that when both countries work together, “we win, we get everything done.”

Before Starmer became prime minister in 2024, he had a more difficult relationship with Trump. In January 2016, Starmer publicly criticized the president, saying: “We unitely condemn Donald Trump’s comments on issues such as Mexican immigration, Muslims and women,” adding that he felt Trump’s comments were “offensive.”
