Britain cuts its tariffs by two thirds.

America trebles its tariffs.

Deal done! But is it really a good one for the UK?

Again compare to yesterday not last year. This is getting boring now. A trade deal protects jobs (maybe not those in the news industry but real jobs). Leave the us narrative alone - you know that is trump PR and be a journalist

Genius!

Only time will tell. It may be a stalling tactic while EU builds military power. Freeing yourself from a bully with dictator aspirations is tricky.

Proof they don't need you (US). S9meone breaks everything. This is what bullies get.

Starmer allowed himself to become a prop in Trump’s ridiculous show. A deal is nowhere near complete, and you have to wonder what a deal is really worth.

Taking Trump's BS, go away, talk to an expert, then comment ffs.

The best way for us to personally show how we feel about Trump's tariffs in the UK? Stop purchasing US brands and from US companies.

I see your point that US tariffs are higher than January but you deal with what you can and the UK conceded very little to get results for key sectors and I think that's a win.

Access yes, but if the market isn’t there for the goods does it matter so much? Can’t see a surge in purchases of US cars for example (perhaps Tesla aside)

The world must stand together to stop the corruption and bullying of the American government!

Britain - don't import American beef or other food products, they don't have the same regulations that the rest of the world have. Beware especially of their meat and poultry which is sub-par!

Actually, now I understand why he isn't making a statement to the House about this "deal"

Why, it’s good news and seemingly Labour have exploited Trumps need for a headline
