In a major step to strengthen economic ties, the United States and the United Kingdom have signed a landmark bilateral trade agreement. The deal marks a new chapter in the two countries’ relationship and aims to boost cooperation in multiple sectors.
After the signing ceremony, US President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer held a joint press conference. Starmer called the US the UK’s biggest trading partner and said the agreement would play a key role in strengthening both economies. He noted that the two nations already support over 2.5 million jobs and will continue to build on this partnership. Starmer also welcomed Trump’s visit to the UK, saying both sides are ready to move past old differences and work together for economic growth.
Trump described the deal as a major win on the trade front, saying it reduces tariffs and expands cooperation in several fields. He stressed that the US-UK relationship is “unbreakable,” and the UK will remain one of America’s closest and most trusted business partners.
According to the agreement, both countries will reduce trade barriers and launch joint projects in technology, energy, defense, agriculture, and services. Analysts say the deal is not only part of the UK’s post-Brexit economic strategy but also gives the US a stronger foothold in Europe.
