In a historic move that strengthens the special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom, President Donald J. Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced today the signing of a landmark U.S.-UK trade agreement at the G7 summit, in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada, June 16, 2025 designed to unlock expansive new economic opportunities for both nations.
Hailed as a major victory for American workers, farmers, and manufacturers, the deal slashes tariffs, eliminates longstanding trade barriers, and grants U.S. businesses unprecedented access to British markets.
A Deal Built for American Prosperity
Speaking from the White House, President Trump described the agreement as a testament to his administration’s ongoing “America First” economic agenda.
“This is a tremendous deal for our great nation—one that will bring billions in new opportunities for American farmers, ranchers, and businesses,” said President Donald Trump. “The UK has agreed to open its markets wider than ever before to top-quality U.S. beef, ethanol, and countless other products made by our hardworking citizens. No longer will unfair barriers hold back American excellence.”
Key Highlights of the Agreement:
-
Expanded access for U.S. agricultural exports, including beef, ethanol, and poultry.
-
Reduction or elimination of discriminatory non-tariff barriers that previously blocked U.S. goods.
-
Enhanced cooperation on digital trade, technology, and intellectual property.
-
Strengthened U.S.-UK economic and national security ties amid global uncertainty.

Steel Negotiations Still Underway – Protecting U.S. Industry
Although this agreement marks a significant leap forward in transatlantic trade, discussions continue regarding steel tariffs. The Trump administration emphasized that any resolution will prioritize American steelworkers and national industry.
“We will always protect the livelihoods of our workers and the strength of our industries,” President Trump asserted. “Any final decision on steel will be made with American economic and security interests front and center.”
A Renewed Special Relationship
Prime Minister Keir Starmer praised the deal, calling it a “win for both nations” and a new chapter in U.S.-UK collaboration. The agreement highlights shared democratic values and a commitment to mutual growth, while solidifying the two countries’ longstanding alliance.

Trump’s Trade Legacy Grows
This U.S.-UK trade deal adds to President Trump’s growing record of pro-America trade successes, following the USMCA (formerly NAFTA), the Phase One deal with China, and trade pacts with Japan and South Korea.
By renegotiating outdated agreements and demanding better terms, President Trump continues to reshape global trade in favor of American interests.
“Under my leadership, we don’t sign bad deals—we win,” President Trump said. “This agreement is another example of how we’re putting America back on top, where it belongs.”
What’s Next?
With the deal finalized, American exporters are poised to enter the UK market on stronger footing—boosting job creation, investment, and growth across the U.S. heartland. As steel negotiations move forward, officials promise transparency and continued focus on domestic industries.
