President Trump is expected to announce Thursday morning that the US has reached a trade deal with Britain, according to a report.
The agreement would be the first one the Trump administration has struck with a foreign nation since the president announced plans to impose sweeping tariffs on US trading partners last month.
News of the forthcoming deal was first reported by the New York Times late Wednesday night, citing three people familiar with the plans.
Details of the agreement were not immediately available.
The White House did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.
Trump on Wednesday teased that he would hold a major new conference at the Oval Office on Thursday morning concerning a “major trade deal,” but did not specify which country was involved — only saying it was “big and highly respected.”
“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 president wrote on Truth Social.
