This morning, I'm thrilled to announce that we have reached a breakthrough trade deal with the United Kingdom. It's a very special day because it's Victory day, World War II, May 8th. Incredible that that day is the same day that we signed a tremendous trade deal for both countries. With this deal, the UK Joins the United States in affirming that reciprocity and fairness is an essential and vital principle of international trade between our two countries will soon be stronger than ever before.
This president, this we've managed to achieve what many people have tried to achieve for many years. It feels completely historic.
You've done what you said you would do. You said to the prime minister that you would do a good trade deal with the United Kingdom, that you would do it at pace and that we would be first. And you have delivered that. You've been true to your words. So thank you very much.
