Vance praised the "cultural relationship" between the 2 countries and emphasized the individual ties of president Donald Trump with United Kingdom. “We surely work very hard with the government Keira Starmera“ over the trade agreement, ” said Vance in an interview with UnHerd. ‘The president truly loves Britain. He loved the queen. He admires and loves the king. This is simply a very crucial relationship."
«He is simply a businessman and has many crucial business relationships . But I think it's something much deeper. There is simply a real Cultural relation. And of course America is fundamentally an Anglo-Saxon country," Vance added. "I think there is simply a good chance that yes, we will come to a large deal that is in both countries' best interests."
The British government urgently seeks an economical agreement with the US to reduce Trump's 25% tariffs on metals and cars, as well as the basic 10% charge imposed on all products imported into the USA.
“With Britain we have a much more common relation than with, say, Germany“ Vance said. "Although we love Germans, they are heavy dependent on exports to the United States, but stay rather harsh for many American companies who would like to export to Germany".
The United Kingdom and Australia are countries which are presently being prioritised by the US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. The United States and these countries have a chance to ‘essential agreement’ on an agreement that can supply them with tariff exemptions “Bessent said. "This may not be a real commercial document, but we will be able to decision forward from this place," added the secretary.
British trade and manufacture minister Sarah Jones welcomed Vance's comments on Tuesday, but did not want to comment on circumstantial negotiations.
