The United Kingdom and the United States have announced a new trade agreement that reduces tariffs on several goods, including steel, cars, and beef, drawing mixed reactions in Britain. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer praised the deal as “historic,” highlighting benefits such as the elimination of U.S. tariffs on British steel and aluminum and a cut in car tariffs from 27.5% to 10% for up to 100,000 UK vehicles annually. However, critics argue the deal is lopsided. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch accused Starmer of giving too much away, while Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey warned it still leaves many UK exports vulnerable to U.S. tariffs.
