Britain's deal with America to reduce tariffs on UK car exports could finally be implemented within days, Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds signalled today.

More than a month ago, on 8 May, PM Sir Keir Starmer and Donald Trump struck an agreement in the wake of the US President imposing sweeping trade tariffs across the world.

The two leaders struck a 'cars for agriculture' deal that would see tariffs on British automotive and steel exports to the US slashed.

This was in exchange for greater access to UK markets for American goods such as beef and ethanol.

But the agreement is still yet to be implemented amid claims the two sides are still negotiating over the section of the deal affecting British steel exports.
