Sir Keir Starmer and Donald Trump have finalised the UK-US trade deal at the G7 summit.
The US president told reporters in Canada “we signed it, and it’s done”, and praised Sir Keir as a “great” prime minister.
“It’s a fair deal for both,” Mr Trump said. “It’ll produce a lot of jobs, a lot of income.”
Sir Keir said the document implements the deal to cut tariffs on cars and aerospace, describing it as a “really important agreement”.
“So this is a very good day for both of our countries – a real sign of strength,” the prime minister added.
Mr Trump added that the UK was “very well protected” against any future tariffs – “You know why? Because I like them”.
However, he did not say whether British steel would still be subject to tariffs in future.
