President said he would hold a press conference at 10am ET (3pm BST) but analysts said it was unclear if a final agreement had been reached
Donald Trump is expected to announce on Thursday that the US will strike a trade agreement with the UK, according to a person familiar with the matter, which would mark the first deal for the White House since it imposed sweeping tariffs against trading partners last month.
The specifics of the trade deal were not immediately clear and there was no comment from the UK on whether a trade deal had been agreed. Analysts said it was unclear if a final agreement had been reached, or if the countries would announce a framework that would be subject to further negotiation.
