President Donald Trump confirmed this morning that the United Kingdom will be the first nation to finalize a bilateral trade agreement with the United States under his administration, confirming an earlier report by The Pavlovic Today.

“Big News Conference tomorrow morning at 10:00 A.M., The Oval Office, concerning a MAJOR TRADE DEAL WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF A BIG, AND HIGHLY RESPECTED, COUNTRY. THE FIRST OF MANY!!!” Trump posted Wednesday evening on Truth Social.

In a follow-up post this morning, Trump added:

“This should be a very big and exciting day for the United States of America and the United Kingdom. Press Conference at The Oval Office, 10A.M. Thank you!”

The finalized U.K.-U.S. trade agreement—set to be officially signed Thursday—will shield British car and steel exports from the full brunt of the 25% tariffs currently levied under U.S. trade policy.

During a statement on defense Thursday morning, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer briefly referenced the finalized trade deal with the United States, emphasizing the importance of transatlantic cooperation.

“As you know, talks with the US have been ongoing, and you will hear more from me about that later today,” said Starmer.

Sources familiar with the talks say the deal would allow British vehicles and steel to enter the United States under reduced tariffs, up to a pre-agreed quota. In return, the U.K. would cut tariffs on U.S. cars and agricultural goods, and ease the impact of its digital services tax on major American tech firms.

The first post-Brexit trade deal makes a significant step forward in the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States, delivering a breakthrough that has eluded both nations for years.

President Trump is expected to deliver remarks at 10 a.m. in the Oval Office, where officials from both governments will be present for the signing ceremony.

“The agreement with the United Kingdom is a full and comprehensive one that will cement the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom for many years to come,” stated Trump on the Truth Social platform.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government earlier this week that 17 of the 18 most critical U.S. trading relationships are currently under negotiation.

“Approximately 97 or 98 percent of our trade deficit is with 15 countries,” Bessent said. “Eighteen percent of the countries are our major trading partners. And I would be surprised if we don’t have more than 80 or 90 percent of those wrapped up by the end of the year — and that may be much sooner,” Bessent added.
