This is the Way to Trade: UK and US Strike Deal, Trump Speaks!

I Have Spoken: A New Hope for Trade

Mando here. Word on the Holonet is that the U.K. and the U.S. have hammered out some kind of trade deal. Seems like they’re the first to do so after the big cheese in the White House this Trump fella started slapping tariffs on everyone. Reciprocal tariffs they call 'em. Sounds like something a bounty hunter would use. 'I have spoken' that I have heard this news.

Truth Social? Sounds like a Hutt Scheme

This Trump character even posted about it on something called 'Truth Social.' Sounds like a Hutt trying to sell me a fake thermal detonator. Anyway he claims it’s a 'full and comprehensive' deal. Says it’ll cement the relationship for years to come. We’ll see about that. In this galaxy deals are only as good as the Beskar they're written on.

Indispensable Allies or Just Good Business?

The U.K. Prime Minister's office this Starmer guy called the U.S. an 'indispensable ally.' Of course they did. Probably trying to get out of paying some extra credits on those tariffs. Seems like everyone's got an angle. But what does he know about forging bonds? 'This is the way' to do it right!

Steel Aluminum and Slightly Less Credits Out of Pocket

Apparently the U.K. was hit with some of these tariffs but not as hard as some other chumps. Still got slapped with levies on steel aluminum and vehicles. Sounds like my ship’s maintenance budget after a run in with some pirates. These duties are supposed to play a role in this new deal though.

Bank of England Cuts Rates? I've Seen More Action

The Bank of England even cut interest rates. Said something about 'tariff uncertainty.' Sounds like they're trying to wiggle out of a Sarlaac pit. Meanwhile the U.S. Federal Reserve is holding steady like a Mandalorian in a firefight. 'I can bring you in warm or I can bring you in cold.'

This is the Way... to More Credits?

So there you have it. A trade deal between the U.K. and the U.S. Will it actually work? Will it bring more credits to the table? Only time will tell. In the meantime I've got bounties to hunt and a foundling to protect. This is the way... to get paid.
