Vance hopeful of Britain trade deal, says Trump ‘loves the United Kingdom’

During his first major interview with a European outlet since taking office as vice president, Vance told UnHerd that the Trump administration has been “working very hard” with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer to negotiate a trade deal that is “fairer” to the U.S. Vance said the unique “reciprocal relationship” between the two countries makes it likely that a “great” deal will be reached in response to the 10% “Liberation Day” tariff Trump placed on the U.K. earlier this month.
