WASHINGTON – Today, Ambassador Jamieson Greer issued the following statement on President Trump’s announcement of a deal between the United States and the United Kingdom to promote reciprocal trade. Today’s agreement in principle lays the groundwork to reduce tariffs on U.S. products, remove discriminatory trade barriers for U.S. agricultural and industrial goods in the United Kingdom, give U.S. producers reciprocal market access, negotiate strong digital trade provisions, and achieve economic security alignment.
“President Trump’s announcement delivers a historic victory for U.S.-UK trade relations, deepening the special relationship and expanding our economic integration,” said Ambassador Greer. “This announcement also underscores the success of America First Trade Policy and the vast opportunities for willing trading partners to pursue reciprocal trade deals with the United States, showing the way forward for shared prosperity and economic security. I congratulate President Trump and Prime Minister Starmer, as well as the tenacious negotiating teams, for their enormous success today.”
