Trump to Announce Trade Agreement With Britain -- WSJ

Dow Jones05-08

By Natalie Andrews, Brian Schwartz and Alex Leary

WASHINGTON -- President Trump is expected to announce a framework of a trade deal with the United Kingdom on Thursday, the first in what the White House hopes is a series of trade agreements since it imposed a series of tariffs against allies and adversaries, according to people familiar with the negotiations.

The announcement, which Trump teased late Wednesday on Truth Social as being with a "big, and highly respected country," is expected to be a framework of an announcement with tariff adjustments.

"This announcement is likely just an agreement to start the negotiations, identifying a framework of issues to be discussed in the coming months," said international trade attorney Tim Brightbill. "We suspect that tariff rates, non-tariff barriers, and digital trade are all on the list -- and there are difficult issues to address on all of these."

The White House and the British Embassy in Washington didn't respond to a request for comment.

The trade deal with the U.K. would be the first for Trump in his second term. Administration officials have said they are also in close talks with India and Japan, and the president is also readying to go to the Middle East next week.
