Overview

• Starmer and Trump finalised the UK-US trade pact at the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alberta
• The agreement cuts car tariffs from 25 to 10 percent and removes aerospace duties to boost British manufacturing
• Trump dropped the deal documents during the ceremony, and Starmer crouched to retrieve them under strict security rules
• In separate missteps, Trump referred to the EU as the partner in the deal and Starmer mistakenly shook hands with a South Korean interpreter
• Starmer insisted the president was “in good form” and praised their cordial personal relationship despite differing politics
