Trump confirms ‘major’ new trade

During the London Defence Conference, Keir Starmer stated that discussions with the United States are ongoing, promising more updates later. He emphasized his commitment to always act in the national interest to secure a better future for workers, businesses, and families in the UK.

Liberal Democrats deputy leader Daisy Cooper expressed concern over the potential US trade deal, warning that it might harm the NHS, undermine farmers, or benefit US tech billionaires through tax cuts. She argued that if the government believes the agreement, negotiated with former President Trump, truly serves Britain’s national interest, it should be presented to MPs for scrutiny.
