President Donald J.
Trump and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer have confirmed a
trade deal between the United States and the United Kingdom at the G7 summit in Canada. The British were able to negotiate a
trade deal as a result of Brexit—which Starmer opposed—repatriating control over trade policy from the European Union (EU).
“This now implements on car tariffs and aerospace, a really important agreement, and so, this is a very good day for both of our countries,” said Starmer, adding, “Thank you again, Donald.”
Trump, who is half-British through his late mother, was similarly positive, calling the British “great people.”
However, the announcement may prove somewhat politically embarrassing for Starmer, of the far-left
Labour Party, due to a mishap involving the trade deal documents. Trump accidentally dropped several pages, prompting Starmer to stoop and
pick them from the ground in a subordinate posture.
