Trump and Britain Make a Deal, Like Peas and Carrots...Almost!

Run Tariffs Run!

Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates you never know what you're gonna get. Well this here news about President Trump and that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer makin' a deal is kinda like that box. Some tariffs went down like Jenny runnin' free but some are still hangin' around like Lt. Dan and his legs! They met up there in Canada probably colder than shrimp on a skewer in December to talk about what America buys from Britain and what Britain buys from us.

Cars and Planes Oh My!

From what I hear they shook hands on car quotas and said 'so long' to tariffs on planes and their parts bless their wings. That's good news if you like British cars or flyin' high in the sky. But that steel and aluminum? That's still a tough nut to crack like Bubba tryin' to open a coconut without his shrimp tools. And those medicine folks? They didn't even get a mention. Maybe they were playin' hide and seek.

Fantastic Fantastic That's What He Said

President Trump he said the relationship with Britain was "fantastic." He even waved a piece of paper he said he just signed but then he dropped it! Reminded me of droppin' my ping pong paddle in China. He even called it a deal with Europe which is like sayin' I'm a astronaut. But then he got it right sayin' it was with Britain. Mr. Starmer he said it was a "very good day" for both countries like winnin' a ping pong match... or two... or a whole bunch.

Steel Yourself!

Now about that steel and aluminum. America wants Britain to show they're playin' fair with their steel makin' before they get a free pass from those 25% tariffs. It's like sayin' you gotta prove you can run before you get to play football. This Mr. Howard Lutnick he's gonna figure out how much steel Britain can send over here. Hopefully he ain't too strict cause I like things fair and square.

100,000 Cars? Golly!

Seems British car makers can send 100,000 cars to America but they still gotta pay a 10% tariff. That's better than other countries who gotta pay 25%. So it's like gettin' a discount at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. They also got rid of tariffs on the UK aerospace industry. Fly high British planes fly high!

He Likes Them

So Britain gets to send us cars aluminum and steel at lower prices and we get cheaper beef and ethanol from them. But it ain't all set in stone yet still some details to iron out like makin' sure my shrimp nets were just right. When someone asked if this deal protects Britain from future tariffs President Trump said "The UK is very well protected. You know why? Because I like them. That's their ultimate protection." Seems like likin' someone is a pretty good deal these days. Mama always said "Stupid is as stupid does," but I reckon sometimes likin' someone is just as good as any smarts.
