Trump and Starmer last year agreed to implement a trade pact that was favourable compared to the deals struck with many other US allies, promising to lower tariffs on key British exports and raise UK quotas on certain American agricultural products. The remarks arrive as leaders from the two counties are locked in a heated exchange over the UK’s reluctance to get involved in the US’s war in Iran.
(April 15): US President Donald Trump suggested he might want to renege on the terms of a tariff deal the US reached with the UK as he raised complaints about Britain’s domestic policies and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
“We gave them a good trade deal. Better than I had to. Which can always be changed,” Trump said in a brief interview with Sky News published Wednesday.
