UK is The Possible New US Trade Partner

American and British officials met this week to negotiate plans to reduce tariffs on cars, steel, and other goods, aiming to ease trade tensions after the US president imposed sweeping levies on allies and rivals in recent weeks.

A UK official confirmed that President Trump will announce a preliminary deal later Thursday. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who had planned to deliver a defense speech in London marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, will instead update the public on the talks, his spokeswoman said.

The news sparked rallies in TRUMP coin and the broader market, as investors bet that lower trade barriers would boost global risk appetite and ease economic pressures, driving demand for risk assets across both crypto and traditional markets.

The broader crypto market saw gains, with Bitcoin rising 2.30% post-Trump’s comments to inch toward the $100,000 target, reinforcing the positive momentum. The $TRUMP coin, tied to Trump’s pro-crypto stance and promises of a US crypto reserve, benefited from this environment.
