The President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced that he will hold a press conference about a "significant trade agreement" with a major country, without specifying further details. According to The New York Times, this country is presumed to be the United Kingdom. Trump indicated on his social media that the conference will take place in the Oval Office, and it will be the first of many trade agreements, without providing more hints about the country or the type of agreement to be reached.
The New York Times reported that the announcement is expected to be about a trade agreement between the United States and the United Kingdom. This alliance would be a victory for both countries, which seek to strengthen their economic cooperation. For some time, numerous meetings have been held with various countries to negotiate, after Trump imposed a 10% tariff on most countries and even higher tariffs on some trade partners, which he later suspended for 90 days.
In explaining the suspension of the tariffs, Trump mentioned that more than 75 countries have sought to negotiate with Washington, which has motivated discussions with various nations. The conference on the trade agreement is scheduled for Thursday at 10:00 a.m., and it is expected to be the first of a series of similar announcements.
