KANANASKIS, Alberta (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer say they have signed a trade deal that will slash tariffs on U.K. auto and aerospace industry imports, but they are still discussing how to handle steel production. The pair spoke to reporters Monday at the Group of Seven summit. Trump brandished the pages of what he said was the long-awaited agreement but then dropped them. He also at first said the United States had reached an agreement with the European Union when he meant the United Kingdom. The U.S. president nonetheless insisted the pact would “produce a lot of jobs, a lot of income.”
