So Donald Trump's trade war, generally, it has not been going great.

Since April's Liberation Day, the administration has signed exactly zero legally binding trade agreements.

Last week, the Court of International Trade rejected many of the president's tariffs.

And online, there's been a proliferation of memes depicting the president as a taco.

Taco stands for Trump always chickens out.

A cheeky take on Trump as negotiator.

But then there is this. President Trump today announced a U.S. deal with United Kingdom, trade deal. It's the first deal since the president began imposing sweeping tariffs on trading

partners around the world, promising more to come. Back in May, Trump's tactics seem to work

on at least one person, the UK's prime minister, Kier Starmor. Starrmer is the head of the

center-left Labor Party.

In purely political terms, it came across as a bit of a triumph for Keir Stammer.

Anand Menon teaches at King's College London. He says in fairness, this deal was maybe the

easiest one Trump could have made. After all, there's no major trade imbalance between the

U.S. and Great Britain.

Donald Trump is a known anglophile. And having Brexited the European Union, British leaders have

something to prove, especially Kier Starrmer. His Labour Party may have been opposed to leaving the EU,

but now that they're newly in command,

they've got to make it work.

Well, I mean, all politicians need good news.

I mean, they had a very rocky start.

They've made a load of missteps.

The government has thrashed in terms of popularity.
