Delivering another massive win for America, President Donald Trump has struck a “full and comprehensive” trade deal with the United Kingdom.
Announced on Truth Social, the historic agreement marks the first country to sign with the US following April’s “reciprocal” tariff strategy.
President Trump revealed that the landmark deal will be officially announced during a White House press conference this morning.
This agreement represents a significant victory for the president’s America First trade policy, prioritizing fair deals over globalist arrangements that have harmed American workers for decades.
The UK becomes the first nation to successfully navigate President Trump’s new tariff structure, which was designed to level the playing field for American businesses.
Despite facing a baseline 10% levy, Britain was largely spared from the higher tariffs imposed on other nations due to its special relationship with the United States.
“The agreement with the United Kingdom is a full and comprehensive one that will cement the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom for many years to come,” said President Trump.
While specific details have not been disclosed ahead of the formal announcement, the agreement is expected to address multiple sectors, including automotive, steel, aluminum, and pharmaceuticals.
The deal represents the first major international trade announcement during the 90-day pause on President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs, which were implemented to bring trading partners to the negotiating table.
The president emphasized the historic significance of choosing Britain as America’s first new trade partner under his second administration, highlighting the deep ties between the two nations.

“Because of our long time history and allegiance together, it is a great honor to have the United Kingdom as our FIRST announcement. Many other deals, which are in serious stages of negotiation, to follow!” President Trump stated.
This deal also showcases the president’s negotiating prowess. After implementing tariffs that put pressure on global markets, nations are now coming to the table on America’s terms.
The president has consistently maintained that accessing the massive US consumer market is a privilege that should come with fair treatment for American businesses and workers.
For UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the agreement could provide a much-needed political boost as he faces declining popularity at home.
Starmer’s office acknowledged the US’ importance as a crucial ally while declining to comment specifically on the trade negotiations.
Vice President JD Vance had previously signaled optimism about a UK-U.S. trade deal, foreshadowing this significant development.
The agreement demonstrates that despite mainstream media criticism of President Trump’s aggressive trade stance, his approach is already yielding results that benefit American interests.
As the president promised during his campaign, this is likely just the beginning of a series of favorable trade deals.
American businesses and workers can expect similar victories as other nations recognize that fair trade with the United States is non-negotiable under the Trump administration.
The formal announcement, scheduled this morning in the Oval Office, will reveal the full scope of this historic agreement, which prioritizes American interests and honors the special relationship with one of the nation’s oldest and most trusted allies.
