Trade deal”.IOW this deal, which is really a win for the UK, is really a desperate play for a messaging win for Trump. The UK is 3% of the trade volume for the US. Vietnam does more.

美国总统川普8日宣布与英国签署贸易协议，这也是川普宣布对等关税政策后，首度与其他国家达成协议。
川普6日与加拿大总理卡尼（Mark Carney）在白宫会面，称本周将有重大宣布，7日晚间则在社群网络“真实社群”（Truth Social）上预告，拟在美东时间8日上午10时举行记者会，宣布与某大国代表签署重大贸易协议，纽约时报（New York Times）随即报导指出，美国将与英国签署贸易协议。
川普8日在白宫椭圆办公室（Oval Office）与英国首相施凯尔越洋通话，指美国与英国签署贸易协议，内容进一步开放美国产品进入英国市场，同时英国也取消许多非关税障碍、美国产品未来也可以快速通过英国海关。
川普4月2日宣布对等关税政策，但对美国呈贸易逆差的英国仍被课以10％的关税；在美国宣布对等关税90天暂缓期后，美国财政部长贝森特指出，美国锁定英国、澳洲、印度、韩国和日本等国家为最优先谈判的名单。
据了解，美英近期持续针对贸易协议进行讨论，除了在上周末有“良好的互动”，英国贸易代表团本周也抵达华府，希望能协调降低美国对英国钢铁、汽车和数位服务等课徵的关税；英方的期待是在19日于伦敦举行欧英峰会前与美国达成协议，没想到谈判进度比想像中的快。
根据美国贸易代表署（USTR）统计，英国为美国第五大产品出口国、第二大服务出口国；美国去年出口产品到英国达799亿美元、从英国进口681亿美元，美国对英国拥有贸易顺差达119亿美元。综合统计，英国为美国第九大贸易伙伴。
