Trump Secures Trade Concessions From the U.K. as the Administration Falls Behind on Its ‘90 Deals in 90 Days’ Schedule | The New York Sun

Trade Deal with the U.K.

President Trump announced a trade agreement framework with the U.K., featuring increased market access for American exports, particularly in agriculture. The U.K. will reduce non-tariff barriers, while the U.S. will implement a tiered tariff system for imported cars.

Negotiation Details

Specifics will be finalized in the coming weeks. The deal aims to lower barriers for both countries, with the U.S. aiming to lower its tariffs in exchange for reduced non-tariff barriers imposed by the U.K.. The agreement includes an alternative arrangement to address Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum.

'90 Deals in 90 Days' Initiative

The agreement marks the first substantive negotiation under Trump's '90 deals in 90 days' initiative, which is falling behind schedule. Initial Liberation Day tariffs were partially rolled back after market concerns.

International Relations

Other countries, like Japan, have expressed concerns regarding the tariffs and urged alternative approaches to enhance cooperation. The U.S. is seeking further concessions from China, but faces reciprocal tariffs.

• The deal includes billions in increased market access for American exports.
• U.S. will lower barriers for U.K. goods in return for concessions.
• The '90 deals in 90 days' initiative is behind schedule.
• Japan and other countries voiced concerns regarding the tariffs.
• Concessions from China are still being sought.
