At the White House, Trump called it a "great deal" and pushed back against criticism that he was overstating its importance. UK Steel director General Gareth Stace welcomed the agreement, saying it would offer "major relief" to the steel sector. Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch criticised the deal, saying it amounted to tariffs being lowered by the UK, while being hiked in the US. Sir Ed Davey said: "When it comes to any trade deal - and especially one with someone as unreliable as Donald Trump - the devil will be in the detail. "One thing is clear, Trump's trade tariffs are still hitting key British industries, threatening the livelihoods of people across the UK."
