President Donald Trump on Thursday morning confirmed a new "full and comprehensive" trade deal with the United Kingdom.
"The agreement with the United Kingdom is a full and comprehensive one that will cement the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom for many years to come," Trump wrote on TRUTH Social Thursday. "Because of our long time history and allegiance together, it is a great honor to have the United Kingdom as our FIRST announcement.
