U.S. President Donald Trump’s preliminary trade agreement with the United Kingdom sent a signal to countries around the world — including Canada — about the goals of his campaign to upend global trade with tariffs.

The U.S. and United Kingdom have signed a trade deal, the first such agreement since President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs on trading partners earlier this year. The deal is set to lower tariffs on steel and automobiles and make it easier for the U.

President Donald Trump unveiled the framework for a trade agreement with the United Kingdom on Thursday, marking the first such accord with any nation since the White House suspended some of its far-reaching "Liberation Day" tariffs last month.
