Trump touts UK trade deal as boosting US agriculture, beef producers

President Donald Trump announced a trade deal with the United Kingdom on Thursday, which he and White House officials touted as boosting America's agriculture industry, particularly beef producers.

The deal will see lower tariffs as well as reduced non-tariff barriers on a number of goods, including agricultural products, though the basic 10% tariff rate the Trump administration previously imposed will remain in place.

The White House said the deal will expand U.S. market access in the U.K. by $5 billion, including $250 million for agricultural products like beef. The U.S. and U.K. governments also committed to working to enhance industrial and agricultural market access.
