On April 5, according to the Washington Post cited by Jinshi, if the Trump administration's tariff shockwaves were the beginning of a race to reach trade agreements with the United States, British Prime Minister Starmer believes he can win.
Officials believe that reaching a trade agreement with Trump and canceling or reducing the 10% tariffs imposed on the UK are within reach and could happen within weeks. Despite criticism of him "bowing down to Trump," Starmer is prepared to make significant concessions to reach an agreement. Two sources revealed that the UK has proposed reducing import tariffs on American beef and fish.
The Starmer government is ready to offer an even bigger reward: lowering taxes for large US tech companies in the UK. Britain hopes these concessions will put them in a favorable position among dozens of countries eager to reach new agreements with Washington. "Every country is calling us," Trump said. "Now they are willing to do anything for us."
