President Donald Trump And his administration concluded a large trading deal with the UK on Thursday and closed the week, preparing for trade negotiations with China last weekend.
Details of a particular trading plan with the UK are rare, but the transaction retains existing 10% tariffs on the site against goods in the UK, deleting some taxes on items such as steel and cars.
“With this transaction, the UK joins the US, claiming that reciprocity and justice are an important and vital principle of international trade,” Trump said on Thursday. “The transaction includes billions of dollars increasing the market for American exports, especially in agriculture, sharply increasing access to American beef, ethanol and virtually all products made by our big farmers.”

The transaction is the first historical trade talks signed after the day of liberation when Trump announced wide tariffs for several countries on April 2 at a number of tariffs.
Later, the administration adjusted its initial proposal and announced on April 9, which immediately imposed a 145%of the Chinese tariff, reducing mutual tariffs for other countries by 90 days before the base line 10%. China replied, raising tariffs for US goods to 125%.
Trump also shed some understanding of trading negotiations with China, given that finance minister Scott is planned to start trade negotiations with China in Switzerland on Saturday.
“Scott is going to Switzerland, meeting with China,” Trump said at the White House on Thursday. “And you know, they really want to make a deal. We can all play games. Who made the first call, who didn’t make them? It doesn’t matter. It only matters what’s going on in this hall. But I will tell you what China really wants to make a deal. We’ll see how it will work out.”
That’s what happened this week:
Meeting with the Prime Minister of Canada
Trump also doubled his interest in expanding the United States during a visit on Tuesday with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
Trump regularly stated that he wants Canada to become a US state, and discussed the acquisition of Greenland and Panama Canal for security purposes. However, the question of Canada is not open for negotiations, Carney said.
“Having met with Canada owners during the last few months, it is not sold,” Carney said on Tuesday. “It will never be sold, but the possibility in partnership and what we can create together. We have done it in the past, and some of it, as the President said, is related to our security, and my government is committed by a step in changing our investment in Canadian security and our partnership.”
Carney says Canada is not for sale, Trump replies: Never say never ‘

While Trump has admitted that Canada had stepped up his investment in military safety, he said, “Never say”, answering that Canada had become another state.
“I had a lot, many things that were impossible and they were executable,” Trump said.

Trump also met with a Russian-American ballet dancer Ksenia Karelin, at the White House on Monday.
