President Trump’s affection for Britain means a “great” trade deal is highly likely, JD Vance, the vice-president, has said.
“The president really loves the United Kingdom. He loved the Queen. He admires and loves the King. It is a very important relationship,” Vance said in an interview.
The vice-president’s comments are likely to be greeted with optimism by British negotiators pushing for a deal to ease levies in the wake of Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs. The UK is attempting to reduce the 25% tariffs that Trump imposed on cars, steel and aluminium.
He added: “With the United Kingdom, we have a much more reciprocal relationship than we have with, say, Germany … While we love the Germans, they are heavily dependent on exporting to the United States but are pretty tough on a lot of American businesses that would like to export into Germany”
