President Donald Trump announced a major new trade agreement with the United Kingdom from the Oval Office on Thursday, hailing it as a “great” and “very special” deal for both countries. The agreement delivers billions in expanded market access for U.S. exports, particularly for American agriculture, including beef, ethanol, and a wide range of farm products.
This latest trade triumph is exactly the kind of win Trump promised on the campaign trail, and once again, he’s delivering for the American people. At some point, even his critics on the left may have to admit that Trump knows what he’s doing, and it’s paying off.
The groundbreaking agreement announced from the Oval Office today will generate billions in revenue and create unprecedented opportunities for American workers, farmers, and manufacturers.
"I think it's going to be something very special for the UK and for the United States," Trump declared, outlining a deal that includes expanded market access that particularly benefits America's agricultural sector. The agreement is projected to raise $6 billion in external revenue through strategic 10% tariffs, while opening up $5 billion in new export opportunities for American producers.

This is precisely the kind of deal that establishment politicians and career bureaucrats insisted was impossible. Yet Trump delivered, proving once again that his tough but fair approach to international trade produces real results that matter to everyday Americans.
President Trump’s new trade deal with the United Kingdom is nothing short of a home run for American workers and producers. Valued at a staggering $5 billion in new export opportunities, the agreement delivers big wins for U.S. farmers and ranchers, including $700 million in ethanol exports and $250 million in other agricultural products like beef. This is exactly the kind of America First deal Trump promised, and now he’s delivering.
The agreement doesn’t just open markets; it levels the playing field. It slashes red tape, strengthens U.S. competitiveness in UK government procurement, and secures vital supply chains for American aerospace and pharmaceutical industries. It also includes tough commitments on intellectual property, labor, and environmental standards — ensuring that American innovation stays protected.

Trump even took aim at bad-faith tariffs, locking in a 10% reciprocal rate on UK auto imports and forcing fair terms on steel and aluminum through a newly created trading union. The message is clear: Trump is setting the standard for future trade agreements — and the rest of the world is now on notice.
Contrary to the doom-and-gloom predictions from his critics who claimed tough negotiations would damage international relationships, Trump's approach has actually strengthened our alliance with the UK while securing American interests. The deal establishes reciprocal tariff rates that ensure fair treatment for both nations' industries, something previous administrations failed to achieve.
"Today is an incredible day for America as we deliver our first Fair, Open, and Reciprocal Trade Deal — Something our past Presidents never cared about," Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
This is just the beginning. Trump indicated that more deals are in the pipeline, telling reporters, "We have many meetings planned today and tomorrow. Every country wants to be making deals."
President Trump proves his critics wrong with major trade deal with the U.K., adding that more deals are coming soon.

Once again, Trump has demonstrated that when America negotiates from a position of strength and puts its interests first, we achieve remarkable results that benefit American workers while strengthening relationships with our closest allies. The establishment said it couldn't be done, but Trump continues to prove them wrong, one historic deal at a time.
