‘Big and Exciting’ U.S.-UK Trade Deal: Trump, Starmer Hint at First Post-Tariffs Agreement Announcement TodayOliver JJ Lane 8 May 2025
A trade deal between the United States and the United Kingdom may be unveiled on Thursday, the leaders of both nations have suggested.
U.S. President Donald Trump said a “major trade deal” was being announced on Thursday, later adding the day will be “very big and exciting” for the United States and the United Kingdom, saying a press conference would be held for the announcement from the Oval Office at 10AM Eastern (1500 BST).

Without getting into specifics and while talking about the ‘special relationship’ between London and Washington that dates back to the Second World War, he said of that “indispensable ally”: “As you know, talks with the US have been ongoing and you will hear more from me about that later today.”
Perhaps moving to reassure the public after the last trade deal signed by the United Kingdom — with India earlier this week — was panned in the press and by political opponents, he continued: “But make no mistake, I will always act in our national interest, for workers, businesses and families, to deliver security and renewal for our country.”
