Trump signals for us, UK can reach a “real trading” without tariffs

US President Donald Trump signaled that the UK would conclude a “real trade transaction” and avoid tariffs against the backdrop of constant talks planted by the British Prime Minister Keira Starr to the White House.

Asked during a joint briefing, or asked Starmer Trump to avoid additional levies in Britain, Trump said, “He tried!

Washington leader emphasized that he “very perceived” to the top of the older – which he repeatedly excited as “a very, very special person” and “a very rigid” negotiator – and noted that both countries could come to a “transaction that can be extraordinary.”

“I think we will have something, maybe even in terms of opportunities, they agreed very much soon,” Trump said.

However, Trump’s comments and Starmer to a potential deal “can mean anything,” said Stefan Kupman, senior market economist Rabobank on Friday.

“This is most likely to indicate some arrangements to avoid tariffs and increase cooperation in certain sectors,” he added. “At least it pushes a can on the road and saves the UK from tariffs. At least today,” Kupman said.

The warm rapprochement with the UK stands in a sharp contrast with the otherwise Trump’s karna approach under the guidance of tariffs to rethink US trade relations in the world since returning to the Oval office in January. Washington leader before Thursday revealed plans On March 4, 25% of Mexico imports and Canada are being proposed after one monthly suspension of the initiative. He also announced that China – carefully focused on trading during Trump’s first mandate – threatens an additional 10% on duties on the same date next week.

Trump advocates tariffs as a means of restructuring commercial relations, elimination of trade deficits and promotion of domestic production. But analysts warn that the US consumer may eventually pick up the tab, thanks to the increase in goods and potential inflation in the world’s largest economy.

“We were treated very unfairly in trade,” Trump said on Thursday, noting that it concerns a “friend and enemy”.

Against the backdrop of increasing Trump’s tension, the United States’s long -standing transatlantic partners were threatened, leaving the European Union and the UK in a diplomatic race to avoid such measures.

In escalation on ThursdayThe US president said the European bloc, whose roots dating through the 1993 Maastrich, were “formed to twist the United States … This is the goal of this and they did a good job.” In response, the EU Commission noted that the block has benefited the US in the past.

Starmer, whose attack of the White House included a letter from the UK King Charles, who invited Trump to an unprecedented second visit of the state to the UK, reconciled on a conciliatory tone on Thursday, saying that two leaders “had a really good discussion, a productive discussion, a good discussion.

“I think you are trying to find a gap between us that does not exist,” the British Prime Minister said to the journalists, noting: “Our trade relationships are not just strong, it is fair, balanced and mutual.”

The UK trade with the UK has been balanced on average, viewing excess and deficit in recent years and leading UK Finance Minister Rachel Rivz in late January that her country is “not part of the problem” for Washington.

Penni Mordauts, former UK Defense Minister and Member of the Main Conservative opposition party, said CNBC on Friday that this is “good” for the US and the UK to talk about trade again.

Mordaunt noted that, despite the delay in the preliminary negotiations on the trade transaction, the UK continued its interaction and formed agreements with individual US states.

“So, we really understand what businesses need a state-based. We are in a good situation to think about which economic agreements will really help both our businesses to open more of our markets,” she said.

On Thursday, two heads of states also addressed the second key problem of Trump – accelerating the interchange of the war in Ukraine and European profession in increasing the cost of defense costs. In this direction he congratulated Britain Announcement on Tuesday that this will increase its defense contribution to 2.5% of the national gross domestic product since April 2027 – exceeds the official 2% NATO goal that many allies have fought for the meeting.

“In this new era, you are also right that Europe should be strengthened,” said Starmer.

Trump, which strengthened the Western allies, quickly restoring discussions with previously isolated Russia, emphasized Thursday that Washington invests the basis for a “long -standing peace agreement” between Kiev and Moscow and hopes for ceasefire within the following steps.

The conservative party Mardount told CNBC on Friday that he believed that progress is being made, but also suggested that critical questions remain unanswered.

“I think we get there,” she said when she believed that a peaceful deal for Ukraine is close. “It is nice to see the conditions for this war to end (in fact). The main one, whether we have enough to restrain the future expansion of Russia,” said Mordount.

She added that in Europe there is still a “fair way to go and demonstrate it”, saying that he believes that the increase in the UK protection costs is still not enough.

European allies call into question whether the Kremlin’s warm talks in Washington may lead to an unfavorable or unilateral peace deal that can force Ukraine to territorial concessions.

At this time, the leader of the White House also raised the restoration of the US military and foreign aid to Kiev after a full -scale invasion of Russia in 2022.

Trump said his Ukrainian colleague Wladimir Zelensky would visit the White House on Friday to sign a transaction on critical minerals of rare land. Zelensky, separately, described this “basis” as the basis that plan to create a joint investment fund in the US, in which Ukraine would saturate 50% of the revenues that reap the future monetization of its assets of natural resources.

“We will sign a historic transaction that will make the US a major partner in the development of minerals of Ukraine and rare land, oil and gases,” Trump assured on Thursday. “We will dig, dig-to, we must dig.”
