The British Prime Minister quickly stooped to the ground and picked up the documents as Trump stood next to him and appeared to grin.
‘A very important document,’ said Starmer as he held the papers that fell from the binder that Trump held.
Starmer and Trump presented a copy of the trade deal that they had announced in May, during the Group of Seven (G7) Summit at the Pomeroy Kananaskis Mountain Lodge in Alberta, Canada, on Monday.
Trump added that it will ‘produce a lot of jobs, a lot of income’.
Starmer said it was ‘a very good day for both our countries’ and said that the deal covers the car and aerospace industries.
The prime minister told Trump: ‘Donald, thank you very much. This now implements on car tariffs and aerospace. A really important agreement. And so this is a very good day for both of our countries, a real sign of strength.’
It was not immediately clear what if any changes were made to the agreement since May, as a copy was not immediately available.
‘We’re gonna let you have that information in little while,’ Starmer told reporters of the tariffs on steel.
The White House stated that US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick will ‘determine a quota of products that can enter the United States without being subject’ to tariffs from the past.
