Trump's first new trade deal triples taxes on Americans buying British products (LINK) 8 May 2025.

— According to a chart used by Trump, the new trade deal with the United Kingdom will bring in $6 billion in "external revenue", a term he and his administration use to describe payments collected by U.S. Customs from American importers. The new 10% rate for nearly all goods, which was announced last month for countries all over the world, is three times higher than the 3.4% average rate Americans have paid for goods from Britain and Northern Ireland.

— Trump said he agreed to lower his 25% tax on imported cars to 10% for the first 100,000 cars entering from the U.K. each year to help the British auto industry because it mainly produces high-end luxury cars. "They make a very small number of cars that are super luxury, and that includes Bentley and Jaguar," he said. In return, the U.K. has agreed to open its market to American beef and other agricultural products, Trump said. "We're a very big country. We have a lot of beef." he added.
