Trump Expected to Unveil US-UK Trade Pact & Rescind Global Chip Curbs

Listen to this article

US President Donald Trump is expected to announce a trade agreement with the UK on Thursday, according to people familiar with the matter, in a limited deal that may nonetheless signal the direction of the US president’s global trade war. Trump teased the announcement in a social media post on Wednesday night, saying he would hold an Oval Office news conference to discuss “a MAJOR TRADE DEAL WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF A BIG, AND HIGHLY RESPECTED, COUNTRY.” Meanwhile the Trump administration plans to rescind some Biden-era AI chip curbs as part of a broader effort to revise global semiconductor trade restrictions that have drawn strong opposition from major tech companies and foreign governments.
