According to King Hokkien, U.S. Vice President Vance said that due to President Trump's love for Britain and the royal family, the United States and Britain are likely to reach a "great agreement" on trade. In Trump's initial tariff statement, Britain was not subject to the severest punishment because the trade relations between the two sides were basically balanced. Nevertheless, Britain now pays a 10% tariff on U.S. imports, while the UK’s steel and automobile industries pay a 25% tariff. Officials from both countries have been in talks for weeks, initially focusing on strengthening cooperation on artificial intelligence and technology, but may also expand to food and other commodities. Vance said the U.S. government is working very hard with British Prime Minister Stamer's administration. “The president really loves Britain,” he said. "He loves the Queen. He worships and loves the King. It's a very important relationship. He is a businessman and has many important business relationships in the UK." Speaking of the cultural affinity of the United States and Britain, Vance said: "I think it's very likely that we will reach a great deal that is in the best interests of both countries."
