When reports started coming out late last night that the first tariff/trade deal would be announced this morning, virtually every media commentator, except those on Fox, downplayed it. “This is just Donald Trump exaggerating again,” they said.
President Trump invited the media into the Oval Office this morning for the big announcement. Again, he will take more questions from the press in one day than Biden did in a month. President Trump then announced a major new deal with the United Kingdom.
Trump invited British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to say a few words over a speakerphone. Starmer praised today’s “historic deal,” noting that it comes “80 years to the day and almost to the hour” when Winston Churchill announced the Allied victory over Nazi Germany, ending World War II in Europe.
