Historic US-UK Trade Deal Puts American Farmers First
President Donald Trump announced a historic trade agreement in principle with Prime Minister Keir Starmer of the United Kingdom on May 8. The timing was symbolic, coinciding with the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day. The deal is a major win for the United States and an especially significant breakthrough for American farmers and ranchers. Rural America, burdened by a $49 billion trade deficit at the start of the year, can finally exhale. This is also a beacon of hope for the future.
