President Donald Trump teased a “major trade deal” announcement on Wednesday night, though he declined to say with which country. It didn’t remain a mystery for long, as The New York Times revealed the country shortly afterward. “Big News Conference tomorrow morning at 10:00 A.M., The Oval Office, concerning a MAJOR TRADE DEAL WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF A BIG, AND HIGHLY RESPECTED, COUNTRY,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. It would be the first trade agreement reached since Trump imposed tariffs on the vast majority of imports on April 2. International trade agreements must be ratified by Congress. The two allies have reportedly discussed lowering U.K. tariffs on U.S. automobiles and agricultural products.
