Subject: Re: Trade deal with UK reached
With a lot of the work already done over the last several years, this is one that could be rushed to completion (or at least was far enough along that you could make an announcement of the overall terms).

But I was told the US economy is on the brink of collapse and everyone knew it. Not sure why an ardent conservative like Kier Starmer would rush into this.

Or maybe he was able to secure a market for British steel…they don’t produce much anymore and having access to the US could help revitalize things for a valuable partner.
