The Art of the Deal.

President Trump on Thursday said on social media that his administration
had come to an agreement with the United Kingdom on trade issues, his first
such deal since his steep tariffs last month roiled stock markets.
It normally takes many months of negotiations to hammer out trade
agreements. Details of Trump's arrangement with the U.K. were not
immediately available, though Trump said it would be "full and
comprehensive." He is expected to formally announce the deal at 10 a.m. ET
in the Oval Office.
The United Kingdom was not among the countries facing the big hikes. It has
had baseline tariffs of 10% on its exports, as well as higher sectoral
tariffs on exports of cars, steel and aluminum.
