President Donald Trump is set to meet with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday, following the recent trade deal between Trump and the European Union.
The meeting will take place in Turnberry, Scotland, where the two leaders will discuss the details of the trade agreement. Alan Mendoza, the executive director of the Henry Jackson Society, described the previous deal as a “head of terms,” indicating a preliminary agreement between the two nations.
Moving forward, more specific details and industry-specific rates are expected to be ironed out. The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, confirmed that the meeting will focus on refining the trade deal.
The trade deal with the U.K. includes significant reductions in car export tariffs and the removal of tariffs on aerospace goods. This agreement is expected to benefit manufacturers and protect jobs in both countries.
Prime Minister Starmer emphasized the importance of maintaining a good relationship with President Trump for the national interest. Despite their political differences, Starmer highlighted their positive rapport and mutual understanding.
The meeting between Trump and Starmer signifies a step towards strengthening economic ties between the U.S. and the U.K. The details of the discussions are yet to be revealed, but both leaders are expected to work towards further solidifying their trade relationship.
