Customs duties: United States and the United Kingdom have signed a commercial agreement

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, said on Monday, June 16, signed the
Proclamation ending the commercial agreement announced last month between Washington and London.

“We have signed it, it is done,” said Donald Trump, along with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Canada.

“It is a fair agreement that will produce many jobs, many income,” added the US President, during the presentation of the agreement.

“This is a very important agreement and a very good day for our two countries,” concluded Keir Starmer.

The first commercial agreement with Donald Trump

The prime minister said the agreement focused on customs tasks in automotive and aerospace sectors, without giving more details.

The United Kingdom was the first country to conclude a commercial agreement with Washington after the president of the United States, Donald Trump, caused a world commercial war by imposing taxes on universal customs.
