British Prime Minister announces tariff deal with U.S.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday announced that the United Kingdom has reached an agreement with the United States to reduce tariffs on a range of goods. Speaking at a press conference, Starmer said the deal will eliminate tariffs on British steel and aluminium exports to the United States. 

It will also lower tariffs on up to 100,000 British-made vehicles per year, from 27.5 percent to 10 percent. In return, Britain will allow a tariff-free quota for 13,000 metric tonnes of U.S. beef and scrap tariffs on American ethanol imports.
