U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance has indicated that a UK-US trade deal is increasingly likely, despite ongoing global trade tensions sparked by former President Donald Trump's tariff policies. Vance emphasized that both nations are 'working very hard' to reach an agreement and highlighted the strong relationship between the U.S. and the newly elected UK government under Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The potential deal could exempt the UK from some of the tariffs Trump has proposed on sectors like pharmaceuticals and semiconductors. The comments come as part of broader efforts to stabilize trade relations and reassure allies amid shifting U.S. economic strategies. A finalized deal would mark a significant diplomatic and economic milestone for both countries.
