President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Keir
Starmer announced on Monday the signing of a trade agreement aimed at reducing
tariffs on imports from the United Kingdom's automotive and aerospace
industries, although negotiations on steel production are ongoing.
The leaders spoke to reporters at the Group of Seven summit
in the Canadian Rockies, where Trump delayed what he described as the
long-awaited deal. However, the implementation was somewhat uneven: Trump
mistakenly referred to an agreement with the European Union before correcting
himself by saying he was referring to the United Kingdom.
Nevertheless, the president insisted that the pact is
"a fair deal for both of us" and "will generate a lot of jobs
and a lot of revenue." He added, "We just signed it, and it's
done."
