Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins detailed a trip to the United Kingdom, which she will make after President Donald Trump announced a new deal with the U.K. on Thursday.

Trump revealed that his deal with the U.K. would cement the relationship between the two countries, adding that it is a “great honor” to have the U.K. as part of his first announcement. Rollins said the president’s deal marked the beginning of realignment, arguing that the U.K.’s 9% tariff on U.S. goods was “almost double” the United States’s 5%.
