President Donald Trump is poised to make a major announcement on a trade deal between the United States and Britain, according to sources cited by the New York Times. The planned deal is expected to be unveiled at an Oval Office news conference on Thursday morning.

The anticipated agreement comes shortly after Britain's recent trade pact with India, marking a busy period for UK trade negotiations. This US-UK deal is likely to involve reduced tariff quotas on steel and autos, while the two nations deliberate on levies affecting creative industries.

This development occurs amidst ongoing discussions aimed at easing US-China trade tensions, which have unsettled financial markets. Trump’s administration has actively engaged with multiple countries, adjusting tariffs and negotiating new terms to stabilize global trade relations.
