US and UK Finalize Trade Deal at G7, Tariff Relief Expected for Automakers
At the recent G7 Summit, US President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer officially finalized a trade deal aimed at reducing tariffs on vehicles and other goods. The deal comes amid ongoing concerns regarding steel tariffs, which remain under negotiation. Starmer notably picked up documents dropped by Trump to avoid a security issue, highlighting the chaotic yet significant nature of the agreement. Both leaders expressed optimism about the economic benefits, with UK automakers looking forward to tariff relief in the coming days. However, unresolved issues concerning steel imports could potentially complicate the trade dynamics moving forward.
